EVEs are organized in genomic clusters that generate antisense RNAs. (A) Production of EVE-derived transcripts for each cluster or single EVE in the A. aegypti genome. (B) Scatter plot showing the relation between EVE transcription and the density of viral elements for each cluster or single EVE in the A. aegypti genome. (C) Contribution of each cluster or single EVE to total transcription and abundance of EVEs on reference genome. (D) Abundance of EVE-derived small RNAs for each cluster or single EVE in the A. aegypti genome. (E) Scatter plot showing the relation between EVE-derived small RNAs and the density of viral elements for each cluster or single EVE. (F) Contribution of each cluster or single EVE to total small RNA production and abundance of EVEs on reference genome. Fifty-nine EVE regions are defined, in which regions with more than one element are referred to as clusters. Each EVE region is numbered according to its location on AaegL5 version of the A. aegypti chromosomes, as indicated in Figure 1E. Fisher's exact test was applied. P-values are indicated for each comparison. RNA libraries from whole mosquitoes were used in this analysis.
