Keywords: genome evolution; horizontal gene transfer; phylogenetics; plant terrestrialization; retrotransposons EN genome evolution horizontal gene transfer phylogenetics plant terrestrialization retrotransposons 11 16 6 09/09/21 20211001 NES 211001 Acknowledgements This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (31922001). All the oomycete Athila/Tat-like retrotransposons are placed at terminal nodes, and the Athila/Tat-like retrotransposons of different oomycetes do not cluster together, suggesting that these retrotransposons are unlikely to be circulating in oomycetes. Phylogenetic analyses show that land plant Athila/Tat retrotransposons cluster together and nest within the diversity of Athila/Tat retrotransposons from fungi. Among the Ty3/Gypsy retrotransposons, the Athila/Tat retrotransposon lineage comprises a significant component of land plant retrotransposons.
