Figure 7. Remnants of transposable elements and predicted gene functions on chromosome 14 insertions.

Figure 7

A) Identification of remnant long terminal repeat (LTR) and non-LTR transposable elements. Orange regions on chromosome 14 show the three inserted sequences flanked by alignment breakpoints A–F (as on Figure 4 and 5). The palindrome (shaded in brown; see Figure 5C) identified on chromosome 14 is flanked by two outwards facing Copia-1 type LTRs. Similarly, the inserted sequence at 700 kb (E–F) is flanked by two outwards facing non-LTR transposable elements. Related non-LTR transposable elements were also found near the flanking regions (A and D) of the large central insertion and the shorter insertion at 230 kb. B) Enlarged view of the large inserted sequence (between C and D) in chromosome 14. Black segments show the location of annotated genes. Genes with a functional prediction by Gene Ontology terms are indicated according to Goodwin et al. [46].
