Extended Data Fig. 2: Variations of TE distribution and chromocenter formation in plants.

a,b, The distribution of TEs in plant species with (a) and without (b) chromocenters. The green lines indicated the positions of TEs in the presented chromosomes. Blue-lined boxes showed the heterochromatin regions that concentrate the heterochromatic elements in chromocenter-containing species. c, Gini coefficient is calculated by the numbers of TEs in 100kb-windows to represent the differences in distributions of TEs across the chromosome. The species with and without chromocenters are separated by a black dotted line. Error bars denote standard deviation (SD) of chromosomes.
