Schematic representation of structures of Penelope
elements isolated from genomic libraries. (A) A
Penelope-containing genomic clone of D.
virilis. (B) A
Penelope-containing genomic clone of D.
lummei. Gray boxes indicate Penelope sequences;
black boxes indicate sequences of the eyeless gene. The
stippled box displays homologous regions of the eyeless
gene in the two species. White (unshaded) boxes represent genomic
sequences of unknown origin. The symbols X, N, E, B, and K represent
the restriction sites XhoI, NdeI,
EcoRI, BamHI, and KpnI,
respectively. Asterisks indicate restriction sites that are damaged in
D. lummei. Arrows above the boxes indicate the sizes and
positions of fragments within a full-length Penelope
element.
