Figure 2From: Computational prediction and molecular confirmation of Helitron transposons in the maize genomeAlignment of the first 25 nucleotides of known maize Helitron 5' ends. A * means that all the sequences at that particular location are the same. There is a strong similarity in the first 18 nucleotides among the aligned Helitrons. The consensus from the alignment is our main criterion to search for the 5' end of new Helitrons.Back to article page
