Fig. 6. (A) Germ-line and somatic transpositions of Mos1 in Aedes aegypti (based on data reported by Wilson et al., 2003). Black arrows represent the terminal sequences at the left end of Mos1. The sequences of the integration sites and, where it is known, the name of the locus into which the element integrated are shown. Four of the integration events were into the original Mos1 vector, and the location of these transposition events within the vector is indicated by open triangles below the diagram of the Mos1 vector. Mar L and Mar R refer to the inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) of the Mos1 vector. Cinnabar and DsRed are transgenes contained on the vector. Cinnabar was used as a transformation marker and DsRed was part of an enhancer-reporter system.
