Characteristics of NuwaI transposons. a Sequence alignments for NuwaI-4_DRer family. The terminal inverted repeats (TIRs) and flanking sequences (10 bp) are shown. b Two examples of alignments of the flanking sequences of NuwaI-4_DRer insertions with a paralogous sequences found within the same genome but devoid of the transposon. The TIRs of the element are underlined. c Structure of NuwaI-4_DRer. Black triangles and solid black boxes represent the TIRs and ORFs, respectively, and the position of the DDE triad is shown. d Predicted secondary structure of the DDE motif-containing transposase of the NuwaI-4_DRer. The DDE triads is marked with red triangles below the sequence
