Figure 4. A Comparison of Coding and Noncoding Sequences from Various MULEs.
(A) An alignment of the nucleotide sequence of a portion of the first exon, the first intron, and a portion of the second exon from the rice, Setaria, and sorghum MULEs. Identical nucleotides are displayed as periods; differences are as indicated.
(B) An alignment of the 3' end of exon 2, intron 2, exon 3, intron 3, and the 5' end of exon 4 from mudrA homologs from rice (Os493), S. faberi (Sf4), and a related element from maize (Zm890). In both panels, amino acid translations, shaded for similarity to Os493, are portrayed below the nucleotide alignments. MURA sequence is provided for comparison.
