Genes nested in LTR retrotransposons at the orp2 locus on maize chromosome 10S. Some of the screened contigs permitted the analysis of more complex retrotransposon blocks like the region around orange pericarp 2 (orp2) locus on maize chromosome 10S. This region contains nested as well as non-nested LTR retrotransposons. Five genes are nested within Ji-3 retrotransposon of the orp2 region. Arrows provide the polarity of genes. Genes and elements are directly labeled in the figure. Position of insertions and truncations are given in nucleotide positions as they relate to the entire BAC sequence.
