Figure 1From: Tandem repeat markers as novel diagnostic tools for high resolution fingerprinting of WolbachiaSchematic presentation of the VNTR-141 locus in ten w Mel-like Wolbachia strains of Drosophila and R. cerasi . The complete 141bp period and the core 108bp period are shown as black and grey arrows, respectively; the 23bp hairpin as a lariat; the two 15bp inverted repeats A and B as dotted and grey boxes, respectively; and the 18bp insertion as a black arrow head.Back to article page
