Data from: Diversity and evolution of the transposable element repertoire in arthropods with particular reference to insects
Background: Transposable elements (TEs) are a major component of metazoan genomes and are associated with a variety of mechanisms that shape genome architecture and evolution. Despite the ever-growing number of insect genomes sequenced to date, our understanding of the diversity and evolution of ins...
