Figure 2From: Novel type of linear mitochondrial genomes with dual flip-flop inversion system in apicomplexan parasites, Babesia microti and Babesia rodhainiSouthern blot hybridization showing four distinct mitochondrial genome structures in Babesia microti (A) and Babesia rodhaini (B). (A) Genomic regions of probes Bm-1, Bm-2 and Bm-3 and restricted enzyme sites of Dra I and Eco 065I are shown in the lower map of the B. microti mt genome type-I (see Figure 1-A). Lanes 1, 4 and 7 for undigested DNA, lanes 2, 5 and 8 for Dra I-digested DNA, and lanes 3, 6 and 9 for Eco 0651I-digested DNA. (B) Genomic regions of probes Br-1, Br-2 and Br-3 and restriction enzyme sites of Hind III and Xho I are shown in the lower map of the B. rodhaini mt genome type-I (see Figure 1-B). Lanes 1, 4 and 7 for undigested DNA, lanes 2, 5 and 8 for DNA digested with Hind III, and lanes 3, 6 and 9 for DNA digested with Xho I (lanes 3, 6 and 9).Back to article page
