Sample group of MITEs causing pseudogenes in the Anabaena sp. 90 genome. Four MITEs in group 1 that interruptedly caused pseudogenes were demonstrated. The secondary structure was predicted with the sequence data using RNAfold [84], while similarity of the paired bases was indicated by the colour scheme shown. Three sets of inverted repeat regions (A, B and C) were located from the secondary structure of the sequences, and labelled in the multisequence alignment
