Figure 3From: Genome-wide comparison of Asian and African rice reveals high recent activity of DNA transposonsAn example of a transposon excision that caused a large deletion in its flanking region. The transposon DTT_SC is indicated by a gray box. Solid lines represent the genomic sequences of O. sativa and O. glaberrima. The excision is precise at the left border of the DTT_SC element while a 2,479-bp segment was deleted at its right border.Back to article page
