TE heterozygosity differs across giraffe lineages. Higher proportions of heterozygous TE-insertions are observed in the lineages leading to northern and reticulated giraffes compared to lineages leading to southern and Masai giraffe. A UPGMA-tree based on a 9.4 K TE-dataset, showing the node numbers referred to in (B). B Barplot showing the number of homozygous (1/1, green) and heterozygous (0/1, yellow) TE-insertions inferred per node. Values above the bars indicate the percentage of heterozygous insertions (Table S6). Giraffe images by Jón Baldur Hlíðberg
