Revealing Landscapes of Transposable Elements in Apis Species by Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Transposable elements (TEs) are grouped into several families with diverse sequences. Owing to their diversity, studies involving the detection, classification, and annotation of TEs are difficult tasks. Moreover, simple comparisons of TEs among different species with different methods can lead to misinterpretations. The genome data of several honey bee (Apis) species are available in public databases. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis of TEs, using 11 sets of genome data for Apis species, in order to establish data of "landscape of TEs". Consensus TE sequences were constructed and their distributions in the Apis genomes were determined. Our results showed that TEs belonged to four to seven TE families among 13 and 15 families of TEs detected in classes I and II
