Schematic presentation of genomic fragments cloned from (a) R. philippinarum, (b) R. decussatus, and (c) D. trunculus. Black lines represent cloned genomic fragments with satDNAs indicated as arrowed rectangles. Arrow position indicates the monomer frame according to original papers [34, 37, 43, 45–48]. Colored rectangles above the line represent regions of similarity with TEs revealed in the database search. Only segments with highest sequence similarity are shown (the complete list is shown in Additional file 1: Table S1a-c). Putative novel elements DTCM1 and DTCM2 are named above rectangles. Fragment PD53 is not overlapped because of difficulties in the assembly of DTHS3 satDNA array. Waved rectangle ends indicate truncated sequences. Scale indicates fragment length in base pairs
