The transposable element insertion upstream of Zmr1 influences the expression of adjacent genes. a Schematic representation of the Zmr1 locus in the wild-type 3D7 and the insertion of a hygromycin resistance cassette (Hyg.R) in 3D7Δzmr1 and in the ectopic controls. b Growth of 3D7, 3D7Δzmr1, and the ectopic controls in yeast malt sucrose (YMS) plates with and without hygromycin (100 μg/ml). c Schematic representation of the Zmr1 locus in the wild-type 3D1 and the insertion of a hygromycin resistance cassette (Hyg.R) in 3D1Δzmr1 and in the ectopic controls. d Growth of 3D1Δzmr1 was reduced compared to growth of the ectopic controls in the presence of hygromycin (100 μg/ml). Growth is normal for all lines in the absence of hygromycin. The experiment was performed three times with similar results
