Genomic maps of the three endogenous MMTV proviruses of C57BL/6J mice and their neighboring genes/genetic elements. The loci of three endogenous MMTV proviruses (A: Mtv-8, B: Mtv-9, and C: Mtv-17) in the genome of C57BL/6J mice were mapped based on the NCBI mouse genome database and are schematically presented on a relative scale. The genes/genetic elements residing within regions upstream (~1 Mb) and downstream (1~2 Mb) of each Mtv locus were also mapped. The variable gene segments of the Igκ chain identified in this region are indicated in blue. Overlapping genes/genetic elements are differentiated with gray in the genomic map of Mtv-17.
