Figure 1

Eukaryotic rDNA structure and location of qPCR primers to estimate Daphnia rDNA and Pokey number. Primers are indicated by short arrows. Pokey inserts into a specific TTAA site in the 28S gene, which is duplicated at either end of the inserted element. 18S, 18S rRNA coding region; 28S, 28S rRNA coding region; 5.8S, 5.8S rRNA coding region; IGS, intergenic spacer; ETS, external transcribed spacer; ITS, internal transcribed spacer; Tpase, transposase gene. The darker vertical bars at either end of Pokey represent the Terminal Inverted Repeats.
