Fig. 1. Genetic structures of viruses of the avian tumor virus group. White boxes indicate map locations and<br />

complexities in kilobases of complete or partial (L\) complements of the three essential virion genes gag, pol<br />

and env and of the noncoding c region at the 3' end of viral RNAs. Hatched boxes indicate location and<br />

complexities of specific sequence elements which are unrelated to essential virion genes and which define five<br />

distinct RNA subgroups within the avian tumor virus group. These specific sequences represent all (src, amv)<br />

or part (fsv, mev, aev) of the co ding sequences of the five different onc genes associated with avian tumor<br />

viruses. Undulated lines indicate that translation crosses and half-undulated lines that translation may cross<br />

borders between RNA sequence elements of different genetic origin. Lines under the boxes symbolize the<br />

complexities in kilodaltons of the protein products encoded by the respective RNA sequences<br />
