Figure 4. A gene map of the tarsier-specific nuclear full-length mitochondrial (numt) DNA insertion.

(a) The 17,866 nt numt covers the complete mitochondrial genome and also overlaps in the 12S rRNA/D-loop region. The genome organization of the tarsier mtDNA is displayed in the central ring in grey. A Southern blot of the numt is presented inside the central ring. (b) The restriction sites (PstI and PvuII digestions), probe location (red bar), and corresponding lengths of the probes (5,965 bp and 23,649 bp) are denoted at the bottom (details are presented as Supplementary Fig. 6).
