Schematic presentation of (a) top 10 (T_Cg1-10) and (b) random 10 (R_Cg1-10) fragments selected from C. gigas genome assembly. Tandemly repeated Cg170 monomers (orange arrows) are flanked with up to 500 bp long sequences (black lines). The monomer sequence frame is presented according to the BIV160 consensus [34], arrowheads showing orientation. Colored rectangles above genomic fragments represent regions of similarity with TEs (for details see Additional file 1: Table S1d). Waved rectangle ends indicate truncated sequences. Scale indicates fragment length in base pairs
