Article Title: Identification of a group of Mus dunni endogenous virus-like endogenous retroviruses from the C57BL/6J mouse genome: proviral genomes, strain distribution, expression characteristics, and genomic integration profile

Figure Lengend Snippet: Patterns of nucleotide substitution: MDL-ERVs in cluster-B versus 157 MDL-ERVs of ~8–9 Kb in size Transition and transversion rates in the MDL-ERV proviral sequences were measured using MEGA4. Numbers in bold indicate transitional substitutions. Ts (transition), Tv (transversion), k (transition/transversion rate ratio). R represents overall transition/transversion bias, with A representing the number of adenosines, G the number of guanosines, T the number of thymidines, and C the number of cytidines. (R=[A*G*k purines +T*C*k pyrimidines ]/[(A+G)*(T+C)]).
Article Snippet: Sequence diversity of two different MDL-ERV populations (cloned from the genomic DNAs of the C57BL/6J and Mus caroli/EiJ mice) was analyzed using the MEGA4 (Build 4028) program (The Biodesign Institute, Tempe, AZ) ( Tamura et al. 2007 ).
