Figure 5From: Gene conversion and purifying selection of a placenta-specific ERV-V envelope gene during simian evolutionENVV2 annotation. Annotation of the human HERV-V2 locus showing the high content of SINE elements in this region. Gag, pol and env tBLASTn hits are indicated by red, green and blue, predicted LTR regions (yellow). The region undergoing gene conversion is indicated by vertical dashed lines (see text). Splice donor site and poly A signal are predicted sites.Back to article page
