Switchgrass EST alignment. Switchgrass LKR/SDH ESTs are aligned to the maize coding sequence given in base pairs. Arrows indicate length of the ESTs and their direction of transcription. Black arrows are 5' reads and blue arrows are 3' reads. Regions of the LKR and SDH enzymatic domains are shown as boxes above the alignment. Paired 5' and 3' reads off the same cDNA clones are indicated either by ESTs on the same line or bracketed to the right of EST names. Asterisks indicated LKR ESTs with poly-A ends.
