Figure 3.
Nucleotide mismatches between HERV-W env cDNAs and best matching genomic HERV-W env loci. White bars represent the number of nucleotide mismatches between HERV-W env cDNAs (n = 332) and their best matching genomic HERV-W env locus without assuming the presence of recombined HERV-W env sequences among those cDNAs. Black bars indicate the number of nucleotide mismatches between HERV-W env cDNAs and their best matching genomic HERV-W env loci when the presence of recombination events in 99 out of 332 HERV-W env cDNAs (see Table 2) was taken into account.
