Location of the poly(A) stretches of Halocynthia contigs on the corresponding mtDNA sequence, with numbers referred to the positions on the mtDNA (AB024528). Dashes indicate the poly(A) start site. Presence of genes and/or noncoding regions (Nc) downstream and upstream of such sites is indicated. All of the alternative poly(A) start sites found in the 16S rRNA contig are reported in the lower box, with numbers below arrows referring to the ESTs supporting that start site. (Lowercase) Noncoding region; (grey background) tRNA sequences; (boxed sequence) rRNA transcription termination box; (bold) putative start codons and stop codons.
