Origin of RTEs in genome assemblies. We used our Snakemake pipeline ‘ConTest’ to test RTE1_Sar is a contaminant in shrews. We used AviRTE and BovB as positive and negative controls. We tested for contamination with AviRTE in birds (short reads of T. guttatus, long reads of C. anna) and nematodes (long reads of L. loa), with BovB in nematodes (short and long reads of H. contortus), and with RTE1_Sar in mammals (short reads of shrew) and nematodes (short and long reads of H. contortus). Y-axis: percent of reads matching to taxon of origin (“self”) or not (“non-self”), x-axis: method used to identify taxon of read mate. Dark blue suggests contamination, while bright blue does not
