Personal communication from Robert Levis, 28 September 2001
1) BG02205
The available data suggest that this is a single insertion, since the
3' and 5' flanks have an 8 bp target site duplication and map to the
same site in the prototype 1360/hoppel element. Guochun's software
called it multiple, meaning that it hit multiple sites in the genome
(i.e. it is repetitive, not a multiple insert). While most of both
flanks is repetitive, there is a region of the 5' flank from 270 to
~410 that hits a single scaffold segment, AE003569. It was on this
basis that I mapped it to 19F. This might be incorrect if this
apparently unique segment is actually repeated elsewhere in the
portion of the genome that is not represented in the whole genome
assembly.
2) BG02303
The 5' and 3' flanking sequence reads for this insertion map 3.4kb
apart. From the available data it cannot be determined whether this
is two insertions or a single insertion associated with a deletion.
3) BG02678
The 5' flanking sequence aligns to the blastopia repetitive element,
while the 3' flanking sequence maps to a single site in 2R-57C. The
absence of a target site duplication suggests two insertions (or an
insertion associated with a deletion).
