From: An evolutionary preserved intergenic spacer in gadiform mitogenomes generates a long noncoding RNA
Long noncoding RNAs generated from CR and T-P spacer. A. 454 read coverage of the Atlantic cod liver mitochondrial transcriptome at the T-P spacer and control region. H-strand specific reads (green) start exactly 3 nt downstream the first position of the T-P spacer, and represent lncCR-H. L-strand specific reads (red) represent lncCR-L. Grey line in lncCR-H indicates missing HTR motif due to HTR copy number variation. B. Secondary structure diagram of lncCR-H in Atlantic cod. The T-P spacer is located at the 5′ end of the RNA, and Box-motifs are indicated (yellow boxes). The mirror tRNAPro structure and TAS hairpin structure (red box) are located upstream and downstream, respectively, of the heteroplasmic tandem repeat (HTR) motifs.
