Table 1 Source of specific and shared LTR retrotransposons

From: LTR retrotransposons reveal recent extensive inter-subspecies nonreciprocal recombination in Asian cultivated rice

Type of element

Relationship of distances

Events in the evolution

Specific

d intra <D

Post-divergence insertion

 

d intra > D

Pre-divergence insertion, then intra-element reversible recombination

Shared

d inter = D <d intra

Pre-divergence insertion

 

d inter <D <d intra

Pre-divergence insertion, then ISNR between two genomes

 

d inter <d intra <D

Post-divergence insertion. Recombination between two genomes generates one counterpart

 

Other patterns

Insertion of two elements at the same locus, etc.
