This table indicates the putative complete LTR-RT elements copy-number identified in each genome (including the already described Del lineage). It also shows the size and GC content of the ten fully sequenced genomes used (A. thaliana - At, M. truncatula - Mt, P. trichocarpa - Pt, V. vinifera – Vv, G. max - Gm, B. distachyon - Bd, O. sativa – Os, S. italica - Si, S. bicolor – Sb and Z. mays - Zm,). ^a Represents the elements from a particular lineage in a genome that could not be used for the vl-att sites analyses, because of the low copy-number (≤8 copies)
