Distribution of polymorphic transposable element (polyTE) loci among human populations. Populations are organized into five continental groups (see Table 1): African (blue), Asian (red), European (gold), Indian (brown) and American (green). a. Unfolded polyTE allele frequency spectrum for the three ancestral (non-admixed) continental groups: African, Asian and European. b. Boxplot polyTE allele frequency distributions for TE insertions present at >5 % frequency within individual populations. c. Numbers of polyTE loci at >5 % frequency that are shared or exclusive among continental groups. d. Numbers of polyTE loci at >5 % frequency among the different populations
