Integration sites of pAL2-1 homologues in the mitochondrial genome. Physical map of the ~100 Kb mitochondrial genome of P. anserina, indicating the location of plasmid integration sites (asterisks, see Table 1). Integration sites are clustered (Rayleigh's test Z = 6.59, df = 1, P < 0.001; Rao's spacing test U = 188.38, df = 1, P < 0.001). The region affected by integration approximately corresponds to the 37 Kb region that is deleted in 'premature death' strains (indicated in the inner circle). The same region contains a sequence with homology to pAL2-1.
