FIG. 8.

Schematic representation of CarSV DNA forms with deletions. Deletions found in CarSV DNA are represented on the secondary structure proposed for CarSV-0 RNA. Numbers in italics mark nucleotides at the deletion boundaries, and grey connecting lines represent deleted regions. In panel A two nucleotides are indicated in the 3′ deletion boundary as a consequence of sequence heterogeneity in different clones. Nucleotides forming part of direct repeats found close to the deletion boundaries are boxed and in capital letters when not included in the missing region and are in lowercase letters when included. Other symbols used are as described in previous figure legends.
