Figure 3.
Alignment of the nucleotide sequences of the noncoding regions from plasmid clones with the cox1 (three clones), nad4 (two clones), and nad5 (four clones) minicircular mitochondrial chromosomes. Dashes indicate gaps. The three highly conserved blocks of sequences at the start, middle, and end of the noncoding region are boxed. The sequence that can form a stem-loop is marked with asterisks (see also Fig. 5). The coding region (data not shown) of each clone is located between the end and start of these noncoding regions.
