A New Exon Derived from a Mammalian Apparent LTR Retrotransposon of the SUPT16H Gene

Figure 1

Location and structure of the SUPT16H gene. The SUPT16H gene is located on chromosome 14q11.2 and includes 26 exons. One of transposable elements (TEs) distributed in genic region of the SUPT16H gene, the mammalian apparent LTR retrotransposon (MaLR), is integrated in an intronic region between exon 2 and exon 3. Discriminatively, EST (BX333035) has an alternative exonized MaLR. The structure in the bottom is enlarged exon of BX333035 to show exonized MaLR clearly. UTR: untranslated region; CDS: coding sequence.
