SB insertions across the mouse Braf gene. Thirty Sleeping Beauty (SB) insertions deposited in the Retroviral-Tagged Cancer Gene Database were mapped across the entire Braf transcript and 10 kilobases upstream (NCBI 36 build; note that Braf is transcribed right-to-left). Most oncogenic insertions occurred in introns 11 and 12 (formerly annotated as intron 9). (a) ProTIS profiling across the entire gene reveals predicted hotspots for SB integration, but (b) most actual integrations were found in a relatively low scoring region corresponding to introns 11 and 12. A blowup of this local 4.9 kilobase region demonstrates that (c) ProTIS scores closely match (d) patterns of actual transposon integration. bp, base pairs
