Figure 1.

GSS coverage of the rf2a gene. Black boxes indicate experimentally validated exons. The two vertical dotted lines define the interval used for the coverage calculations presented in Table II. Solid green lines designate GSSs with 5′ -> 3′ orientations, while red dotted lines designate GSSs with 3′ -> 5′ orientations. The black, blue, and red dots on GSSs indicate Class I, Class II, and Class III errors, respectively. MF and HC GSSs are located above and below the gene, respectively. The gray box indicates the approximately 4.8-kb region (positions 8,430–13,230) masked prior to the BLAST search, which contains two open reading frames (positions 8,430–12,224 and 11,869–13,230) of a repetitive copia-like retrotranspon, DON QUIXOTE.
