In addition, the analysis of TE distribution with respect to predicted genes showed that full-length Gypsy elements were distributed uniformly across the 16 pseudo-chromosomes, irrespective of gene location, whereas a highly significant negative correlation was observed between the density of full-length Copia elements and gene density ( R = −0.46, P = 0.0000) (Additional file 8 ).
