Loss of complete Copia-like elements. The half-life of complete Copia-like elements throughout the whole genome (log-transformed counts marked by blue circles, blue regression line) is estimated as around 650,000 ± 50,000 years. Complete insertions outside the proximal regions (red squares, red regression line) are lost more rapidly, with a half-life estimated as around 470,000 ± 50,000 years.
