Fig. 3

Pairwise nucleotide sequence comparisons depicting sequence similarities between HERV-W and ERV1–1 groups. Reference sequences and consensus sequences were compared with each other as follows. a Callithrix jaccus ERV1–1 RepBase sequence and HERV-W RepBase sequence; b Callithrix jaccus and Saimiri boliviensis ERV1–1 proviral consensus sequences as generated in this paper; c Callithrix jaccus ERV1–1 proviral consensus as generated in this paper and HERV-W RepBase reference sequence; d Callithrix jaccus ERV1–1 proviral consensus sequence as generated in this paper and a HERV-W proviral consensus as reported recently [44]. Sequence similarities in dot-plot comparisons are highlighted for sequence regions with at least 50% similarity along a 100 nucleotides sequence window. Proviral gene and LTR regions are depicted
