Fig. 4

LTR retrotransposon genome content across the Avian Lineage. Avian lineage cladogram showing twenty species from the three major lineages of birds and two outgroup species: the Carolina anole and the Western painted turtle. The LTR (%) column shows the relative proportion of the genome annotated as LTR retrotransposon by the combined RepeatMasker protocol. The third column gives the genome size in gigabase pairs (Gbp). The final column gives the scaffold N50 in megabase pairs (Mbp), as a measure indicative of assembly quality. Cladogram constructed based on the avian phylogeny constructed by [57]. Species names are reported as four letter codes in column 1. From top to bottom these are: acar (Anolis carolinensis), cpic (Chrysemys picta bellii), scam (Struthio camelus australis), tgus (Tinamus guttatus), ggal (Gallus gallus), mgal (Meleagris gallopavo), apla (Anas platyrhychos), cliv (Columba livia), pgut (Pterocles gutturalis), cann (Calypte anna), ccan (Cuculus canorus), pade (Pygoscelis adeliae), afor (Aptenodytes forsteri), pcri (Pelecanus crispus), fper (Falco peregrinus), mund (Melopsittacus undulates), cbra (Corvus brachyrhynchos), tgua (Taniopygia guttata), hleu (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), talb (Tyto alba), avit (Apaloderma vittatum), ppub (Picoides pubescens)
