Distribution of motifs in genes before and after recruitment. a Before the recruitment, the donor (orange dot) is located in a neighboring gene of the acceptor (purple dot) in a gene regulatory network (GRN). b Before the recruitment, the donor contains the motif (orange block) and the acceptor (purple block) lacks the motif. c After a copy-and-paste recruitment, the acceptor (purple block) contains the motif (orange block, whereas the donor also maintains the motif. d After a cut-and-paste recruitment, the acceptor (purple block) recruits the motif (orange block), whereas the donor loses the motif
