In silico reconstruction of Kangourou (A) and Wallabi (B) retrotransposons. The copies of the BES contigs are shown as horizontal lines (alternate black and gray according to their final position on the element). The schematic representation of the element assembled from O. australiensis BES is represented in gray. The schematic representation of the elements, as it is found in the O. australiensis sequenced BAC clones, is given in black at the bottom of the figures. The size scale in bp is given at the bottom.
