Diversity and composition of predicted D6Ertd527e proteins. a Aminoacid composition of selected rodents inferred from transcriptome data and predicted MTD-driven D6Ertd527e transcripts (Fig. 2b). From the previously analyzed Mus musculus inbred strains [12], examples were selected to illustrate variability among the strains. Hatching in Mus spicilegus and Mus caroli reflects presence of a block of Ns in their genomic DNA. b Composition of the coding sequence in the genus Mus shows that expansion of the coding sequence stems partially from CAG repeat expansion (one such a repeat is indicated by black arrowheads) but mostly from sequence duplications of variable lengths (various duplicated segments are depicted by colored rectangles below the protein sequence)
