Figure 4.
SD breakpoint analysis. (A) This illustrates the NAHR result involving two copies of one TE (the two boxes correspond to the TE copies). Mechanisms of DSB repair according the NAHR models result in a TE copy hybrid. SD breakpoint is thus expected to be located in the copy TE at SD ends. (B) One example. The multiple alignment illustrated corresponds to SD breakpoint region. The breakpoint is shown by the transition from a conserved to a less-conserved region. The conserved region indicates the duplicated region (underlined in red).
