LTR retroelement phylogeny. Inferred based on pol using the 268 LTR retroelements used in this study. This tree includes information about names, Genbank accessions and hosts of all LTR retroelement taxa used. By clicking on each OTU in this tree, the user can download a GyDB file or Genbank accession of the requested element from GyDB or NCBI, respectively.

Comparative analyses. Presented through an Excel file divided into four sections; AF2A) C-terminal module of CoDi-A-like Ty1/Copia INTs with significant similarity the chromodomain consensus; AF2B) hits of similarity using different core sequences of DrFV-1 as queries against HMM searches at GyDB; AF2C) phylogenetic networks; AF2D) GPY/F module multiple alignments between Bel/Pao and Ty3/Gypsy LTR retroelements.

Building multigraphs. Zip-file containing all notebooks (Mathematica files) needed to visualize or reproduce graphs shown in this study. This is presented as a mini-web site containing three folders and two HTML files. Opening the HTML file called "Index.html" and following the steps summarized therein users can reproduce the analyses using Mathematica 7.0 or simply visualize them using the freely available Mathematica Player.
