Figure 8. Plot of the longest ORF detected in LTRs selected from all seven retroviral genera.

Figure 8

ORFs longer than 97 amino acids were detected in MMTV sag, primate lentiviral nef, Bovine Foamy virus (BFV), and HML2,3,4 and 8 consensus LTRs. One standard deviation of the longest ORF occurring in 100 random sequences of increasing length is also shown. A. Longest ORF in RepBase consensus HML LTRs. B. Longest ORF in Clustal consensuses of alignable HML LTR groups and other LTRs (45 in total). Sequence identities and other details are given in Excel S2.
