Mapping of TEs on the chromosomes of five nototheniid species by FISH. Each probe was labeled with biotin and bound probe was detected with incubation with Avidin-FITC (fluorescein, greenish spots). (Probe characteristics are indicated in Additional file 6). Chromosomal DNA was counterstained with DAPI. One family of each retrotransposon superfamily is represented in this figure: YNotoJ for DIRS1, GyNotoA for Gypsy and CoNotoB for Copia elements. (see Additional files 7 and 8 for FISH mapping with the second family of DIRS1 (YnotoR) and Gypsy (GyNotoE)). Examples of TE distribution patterns for type 1: d, h; type 2: c, i; type 1 + 2: e, j, p. White arrows point examples of TE accumulations. Scale bars: 10 μm
