Figure 1

The C. elegans mitochondrial chromosome showing the uaDf5 deletion (after reference [22]). The coding genes and rRNAs are shown as large arrows. The tRNA genes are designating by the one-letter amino acid code. The short arrows on the interior represent PCR primers: 1 – Beavis; 2 – U1; 3 – Cemt4555; 4 – Cemt5012; 5 – Cemt1A; 6 – U2.
