The first column incidates the L1 element designations used in this study. The second column gives the GenBank accession numbers harboring the respective L1 elements. The length of cellular sequence flanking for a given L1 element in the upstream direction is given, as well as the nucleotide difference of each 5′-UTR sequence compared with the 5′-UTR sequence in L1.3. Retrotransposition activities (high and weak) of L1 elements, compared with the activity of L1.3, are given according to Brouha et al. (2003).
