Repeat composition, lengths, and insertion timing for representative embryophyte genome assemblies. (A) Genome proportions of repetitive and non-repetitive elements for seven taxa spanning land plants, as well as BAC.SubSample, using genome-based analyses. Genome sizes and N50s for analyzed genome assemblies are also provided. (B) Mean repeat element lengths based on genome assembly analyses (A) for seven embryophyte taxa and BAC.SubSample. (C) Genome proportion of repetitive and non-repetitive elements using read-based clustering analyses111. (D) LTR RT insertion dates in Ceratopteris based on the CFern v1.1A and BAC.SubSample assemblies. Insertion dates were inferred from the similarity of long terminal repeat regions of the LTR RTs and a neutral substitution rate of 6.5 × 10−9 per site per year.
