Figure 1From: The genome of the brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosuscontains a series of viral DNA pieces, suggesting an ancient association with large dsDNA virusesGenetic organization and comparative genomic analysis of three Ectocarpus algal genomic regions. A, B, and C, maps of the algal genomic and portions of the EsV-1 genome. Gray regions connect homologous genomic regions. Dashed line, unknown DNA sequence. Arrow, putative ORF; broken arrow, pseudo-gene; black arrow, DNA repeats; black square, remnant of ankyrin repeats; arrowhead, relic of transposase; Tn, transposase; numbers indicate ORFs or homologues of the EsV-1 genome; 213h1 and 213h2, homologues of EsV-1 ORF 213; OBP, origin binding protein; IP22, Isoleucine/leucine proline repeat; TPR, tetratricopeptide-repeat. D, Circular map of the EsV-1 genome. Triangles, the inverted terminal repeats, ITRA and ITRA'. Numbers, nucleotide coordinates.Back to article page
