Insertional polymorphism of RnERV-K8e. (A) Polymorphic status of eight genomic loci for RnERV-K8e in 21 inbred rat strains. One PCR primer is specific to the particular genomic locus, while the second is specific to RnERV-K8e (see Supplemental material). (B) Tabular representation of A. RnERV-K8e copies are present (+) or absent (−) at the particular genomic loci. (C) Transposon display performed on closely related inbred strains. Polymorphic bands are indicated by black triangles. Patterns identical between WKY/Han and WKY/Crl are framed.
