Figure 2

A conserved motif capable of forming a hairpin is present in the mtDNA of several osteoglossid and eel species. Mfold deduced hairpin structure from a repeat unit within the tandem repeat array located in heavy strand control region. Shaded region is the conserved motif TACAT/ATGTA. Panel A: Hairpin structures of the members of Osteoglossiformes superorder. From left: Asian arowana, silver arowana, butterfly fish and goldeneye. Panel B: Alignment of a repeat unit sequence from tandem repeat array of various Anguilliformes superorder members' mitochondrial heavy strand control region. A hairpin structure of Anguillia australis australis constructed using Mfold.
