  1. *Non-LTR, LTR and DNA transposon TE libraries were produced by TEpipe, which is based on sequence similarity searches using conserved domains from reverse transcriptase and transposase. †To calculate the abundance of TEs in the Tribolium genome assembly, RepeatMasker was run using our TEpipe libraries.
