From: Precise annotation of tick mitochondrial genomes reveals multiple copy number variation of short tandem repeats and one transposon-like element

Fig. 3

The transposon-like element in the Dermacentor silvarum mt genome. All the mt genomes read in the 5′ → 3′ direction as the J-strand. The genes from the J-strand and the N-strand are indicated in red and blue colours, respectively. a. The genes from the J-strand and the N-strand are deployed upward and downward, respectively. b. R1 and R2 were composed of several repeat units, respectively. And the repeat units in R1 are reverse complimentary to those in R2. In total, three types of repeat units (type 1, 2 and 3) of R1 were identified. c. R1 and R2 were determined to have 5 repeat units in the D. silvarum mt genome (GenBank: MN347015)
