Schematic Representation of the Sequence Relationship between Maize Inbreds B73 and Mo17 at Locus9002 on Chromosome 1L (Bin 1.08; Markers bz2, An1, and umc1446).

The shared sequence between the inbreds is represented by the bar labeled “Shared sequence.” The sequence segments unique to either B73 or Mo17 are represented as “Mo17-specific” and “B73-specific,” with their positions of insertion indicated by dotted arrows, relative to the shared sequence. LTR-retrotransposons are represented by colored boxes, which are also drawn in a different width if nested. Retrotransposon boxes contain labels, which are cross-referenced to the tables, and the insertion times in Myr based on LTR sequence divergence (Ma and Bennetzen, 2004a). Elements in dotted brackets were excluded from the intraspecific comparison. Predicted genes are indicated with black pentagons and transposons with pink arrows. Only nonshared and individually inserted MITE M2 is shown with a red triangle.
