Figure 3

Comparison of transposase connection protein identity for pairs in conserved neighborhoods (blue) versus non-conserved neighborhoods (red). The sharp drop-off in identity for pairs in conserved neighborhoods suggests a rapid loss of transposases, while the lower identity for pairs in non-conserved neighborhoods suggests an acquisition of transposases from a diverse population of transposases.
