RNA-Mediated Gene Duplication and Retroposons: Retrogenes, LINEs, SINEs, and Sequence Specificity

Figure 7

Sequence comparisons of the 3′-end sequences of L1-clade LINEs and monocot SINE families. The 3′-end sequences of the monocot 1a (consensus), LINE1-1_ZM, and SINE2 (consensus) were aligned [34]. Vertical lines and hyphens represent identical nucleotides and gaps, respectively. A conserved region between the LINEs and SINEs is boxed. R: A/G, Y: C/T, S: C/G, W: A/T, N: any nucleotide.
