↵Letters in parentheses indicate region of element used as probe. LTR, long terminal repeat; pol, polyprotein;gag, gag polyprotein.
-
↵All calculations are corrected for the estimated 12% of BAC clones that contain no insert of maize genomic DNA. n.d., Not determined.
-
↵The Prem-2 and Ji families cross-hybridize.
