Figure 1From: Determination of the melon chloroplast and mitochondrial genome sequences reveals that the largest reported mitochondrial genome in plants contains a significant amount of DNA having a nuclear originGene map of the Cucumis melo chloroplast genome. The nucleotide positions are numbered starting at the IRa/LSC junction and extending clockwise. A pair of inverted repeats, IRb and IRa, located at coordinates 86,335 to 112,131 and 130,221 to 156,017, respectively, separates the large single-copy region (LSC) from the small single-copy region (SSC).Back to article page
