Additional file 2: of Quadruplex DNA in long terminal repeats in maize LTR retrotransposons inhibits the expression of a reporter gene in yeast

Overview of oligonucleotides, BAC clones and primers used in study. Name is derived from Maize TE Database. BAC referes to ZMMBBc library coordinates of clones containing given element. G4 motif coresponds to oligonucleotides used for CD measurments and UV melting. Guanine tracks and mutations are highlighted by bold bigger font in wilde types and mutants respectively. Forward and reverse primers were used for element amplification from BAC clones, the product length is indicated as last colum. Mutagenic primers were used for generating constructs with mutatnt LTRs, mutations are highlighted as mentiond above. RACE and RACE nested primers were used for rapid amlification of cDNA ends in yeast and maize. (XLSX 10 kb)
