Structure and syntenic analysis of the new long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotranposon. (A) Micro-syntenic comparison of B. oleracea-specific LTR-RT (BoCop-1) with its ortholog (BrCop-1) from B. rapa. Arrows denote the LTR; Green, red and blue box denotes the functional domain, GAG, reverse transcriptase and integrase, respectively. Value for similarity with homologous regions is represented as a percentage. (B) Read mapping and copy number estimation in B. oleracea and B. napus. FISH analysis of BoCop1 in B. rapa (C) B. oleracea (D) and B. napus (E) genomes. Arrows indicate C sub-genomes in the B. napus-genome.
