Fig. 1. Comparison of Hermes B5, B6 and B6mut elements. The black
arrows represent the inverted terminal repeats (ITRs), and the actual
sequences of the ITRs are shown. The terminal nucleotide of the right ITR is
highlighted in bold to show the difference between the ends of B5 and
B6. The Musca domestica genomic DNA flanking the B5
and B6 elements is different. In the B6mut element, the
terminal nucleotide of B6 was changed to a G.
