Transposable elements in P. gallinaceum. (A) Artemis screenshot showing a complete retrotransposon of P. gallinaceum (PGAL8A_00410600) and a copy where the open reading frame encoding gag-pol-polyprotein is frame-shifted (Rutherford et al. 2000). (B) Diagram of the P. gallinaceum retrotransposon (PGAL8A_00410600). The Ty3/Gypsy transposable element contains a continuous open reading frame including a CCHC-type zinc finger domain (CCHC), aspartic protease domain (PRO), reverse transcriptase domain (RVT), RNase H domain (RH), and an integrase domain (INT). The element is bounded by long terminal repeats (LTR). (C) A single subtelomeric region (contig 70) from P. gallinaceum. Transposable elements are shown in blue.
