Tenaillon et al., 2011 obtain genome size estimates and transposable element (TE) content by high-throughput sequencing.[6] They find ~50% difference in size and that divergence from maize (Z. mays) is largely due to different % of TE content.[6] Ratios between TE families are highly conserved between Z. luxurians and Z. mays.[6]
