Figure 6.

Distribution of full-length, fragmented and solo LTR element sequences on the Chromosome 10 in the O. sativa genome. The figure shows the distribution of copia-like, gypsy-like and all elements on the chromosome 10. A genomic position for an element was estimated based on a PAC or BAC clone which contains the element. All elements were plotted to their respective chromosome location. Both copia-like and gypsy-like LTR retrotransposons exhibit nonrandom clustering along the chromosome. More LTR retrotransposons reside in the pericentric regions of the chromosome than in the arms, and short arm of Chromosome 10 also displays a higher density of the elements than long arm. The number of gypsy-like elements are more than that of copia-like elements on chromosome 10.
