  1. a Target site duplications could not be identified for SrosH and SrosTm. b The number of identical paralogous copies could not be determined for SrosH and SrosHar. c Read number based upon edited gene regions for SrosS. d Nucleotide diversity could not be determined for SrosH due to low sequencing reads at the element termini; diversity could not be determined for SrosS and SrosHar due to their low copy numbers
