BMC Genomics

Table 1 Number of insertions in ~7 Mb of Triticeae large-insert sequences

Type of event	Number of events
LTR retrotransposon insertions	400
Copia insertions	137
Gypsy insertions	245
LARD insertions	9
TRIM insertions	9
Solo-LTR formations	70

Data in italics were produced from the re-annotated sequences of [7]. The recombination events represent all the deletions, insertions, and remodeling events detectable in the elements.
