Structure of MITE-like elements belonging to the Gambol superfamily. (i) The diagram represents the Gambol element as described in Tefam [17]; striped arrows represent the terminal inverted repeats (TIRs). (ii) Representation of the structure of the MITE-like elements. Black arrows represent TIRs with the number of mismatches with the TIRs from the complete elements in white. The numbers above the diagrams are the nucleotide positions where the TIRs begin and end in each case. In each box, a-e. represent the original Gambol element (above) and the MITE-like element from AnoTExcel.
