Highly Variable Genomic Landscape of Endogenous Retroviruses in the C57BL/6J Inbred Strain, Depending on Individual Mouse, Gender, Organ Type, and Organ Location

Figure 3

Variable MLV-ERV landscapes in different brain compartments of C57BL/6J inbred mice. Variations in the I-PCR amplicon banding patterns were visible among the six different brain compartments of two female C57BL/6J mice. In addition, within each compartment, the landscape patterns were not shared by the two mice. A reversed image of the selected area is presented for better resolution. SM: size marker; BS: brain stem; CB: cerebral cortex; CC: corpus callosum; CH: cerebellar hemisphere; HI: hippocampus; OF: olfactory bulb; KI: kidney.
