Distribution of Mos1 alleles.
(A) Graph showing the relationship between chromosome length (as a percentage of the whole nuclear genome) and the proportion of Mos1 alleles per chromosome reported in a previous study [5], and the 10,858 alleles obtained in the current project (black and red circles, respectively). The outliers, concerning chromosomes I and V, from the previous study are highlighted with lines. (B) Distribution of distances from one Mos1 allele to the next, in a 5′ to 3′ direction along each chromosome. The graph shows the cumulative percentage of alleles that are separated by less than the indicated distance. (C) Concentration of Mos1 alleles at the extreme right end of chromosome I (length 15,072,423 bp). The separation of the allele numbers indicates that almost all the alleles were generated independently, except in two cases (ttTi2276 and ttTi2284; ttTi13453 and ttTi13460), highlighted by an asterisk. This region was also preferentially targeted during the previous study as reflected by the presence of several cxTi alleles.
