Intron Retention and TE Exonization Events in ZRANB2

Figure 2

PCR amplification of Plat_L3 and L3b in various primates. Primate DNA samples were utilized for integration analyses of the Plat_L3 and L3b elements in the ZRANB2 gene. M indicates the molecular size marker. Primate DNA samples are abbreviated as follows: (1) HU: human (Homo sapiens); (2) Hominoids: CH: chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), BO: bonobo (Pan paniscus), GO: gorilla (Gorilla gorilla); (3) Old World monkey: RH: rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta), JA: Japanese monkey (Macaca fuscata), CR: crab-eating monkey (Macaca fascicularis), PI: pig-tail monkey (Macaca nemestrina), AF: African green monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops), MA: mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx), CO: colobus (Procolobus sp.), LA: langur (Trachypithecus sp.); (4) New World monkey: MAR: Marmoset (Callithrix jacchus), TA: tamarin (Saguinus midas), CA: capuchin (Cebus apella), SQ: squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus), NI: night monkey (Aotus nigriceps), SP: spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi); (5) prosimian: RL: ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta).
