Table 2

Sequences and genomic positions of mapped HERV-W gag (A) and env (B) elements. Dashes indicate nucleotides that are identical with the prototypical HERV-W sequences. Open circles indicate gaps in sequence. Sequences that could not be unambiguously mapped to one genomic loci are indicated by the number of indistinguishable genomic loci found.
