Figure 1

The genomic organization of ASDE (5052 bp). Reading frame −2 encodes for the GIY-YIG endonuclease. Reading frame +2 encodes for the reverse transcriptase (RT) portion and reading frame +3 for the RNaseH portion of the pol-like protein gene. The location of the original shotgun clone sequence used or 3′-5′ RACE is indicated next to the underlying scale bar for the whole sequence of 5052 bp. Also shown is the location of the 600 bp target sequence for the PCR, RT-PCR and hybridization assays. The black arrowheads indicate the positions of BamH1 cutting sites at positions 1373, 4137 and 4145.
