Name	Description	Source
DNA transposons	Including CACTA, Ac/Ds, MULE, Mariner, ping/pong/SNOOPY. 3.6% of the genome in total. Within them, the CACTA subclass is the most abundant element, which involves more than half of all transposon sequences and comprises 2.1% of the Asparagus genome.	https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0097189
LINE/SINE	Low abundance	https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0097189
MITE	1.6% of genome	https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0097189
Ty1/copia	Most abundant throughout the genome, 2x more than gypsy. Most of the repeat groups had similar abundance in males and females, which was in agreement with the fact that the sex chromosomes of asparagus are in the early stages of sex chromosome evolution.	https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0097189
Ty3/gypsy	One of the most abundant TE families	https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0097189
