Teratorn-like viruses encode a series of herpesvirus genes a A homology plot of Teratorn-like virus sequences compared to medaka Teratorn subtype 1, visualized by VISTA. Blue and white regions indicate coding and non-coding regions, respectively. Colored boxes in the two bars above the histograms indicate the positions of forward- and reverse-oriented predicted genes of medaka Teratorn subtype 1 (magenta, piggyBac-like transposase gene; blue, herpesvirus-like genes; orange, cellular homologs; gray, unannotated genes). All sequences displayed in this plot are the same as those in (b). b Structures of Teratorn-like viruses in several teleost fish species. Conserved synteny blocks are depicted by arrows of the same color. Magenta arrows indicate the piggyBac-like transposase gene. Sources of each sequence are described on the right. These sequences were (1) extracted from contigs or scaffolds (M. mola, M. albus, S. salar, O. kisutch, N. brichardi, N. furzeri, A. citrinellus, A. limnaeus and A. polyacanthus), or (2) reconstructed by conjugating multiple contigs (subtype 2 Teratorn of O. latipes, L. crocea and O. niloticus) or BAC sequencing (subtype 1 Teratorn of O. latipes)
