TE dynamics in the history of microsporidia. a Assembly sizes (Mb) and their percentages of distinct TE classes are displayed next to the phylogeny of 47 microsporidia. The tree was inferred using 37 highly conserved proteins; only bootstrap support values lower than 90% are shown. Known modes of transmission are indicated in bold letters: H = horizontal; HV = horizontal and vertical; HS=Horizontal sexual. b Age distribution of different classes of TEs; larger Kimura distances (K2P) represent older elements. c Phylogeny inferred using concatenated Argonaute and Dicer proteins from 25 lineages of microsporidia. Only lineages where both proteins were found have been included in the analysis. Rozella allomycis, an early diverging fungus [3], is used as root in both (a) and (b) phylogenies⁠. The major clades of microsporidia bearing both Argonaute and Dicer are highlighted in different colors
