DNA sequence of the Sleeping Beauty transposon. The total length of the sequence is 1638 nt. The transposase coding region (yellow) is flanked by one left inverted repeat (red) and one right inverted repeat (green) with the respectively transposase binding regions (gray)11. The black boxes and the red line represent positions that were different in the consensus, and one insertion, respectively (see text and Methods for details; Figs S1–S3).
