This exception may be the result of this region corresponding to a small intron in the Drosophila gene. |
There are also two dinucleotide microsatellites and one mononucleotide microsatellite, all in the first intron. |
The second insertion traps an exon of a different gene contained in an intron of the former gene. |
The dashed line and lowercase letters represent intron sequences and the solid line and uppercase letters represent exon sequences. |
Dashed lines joining the two gene duplicates indicate the potential intron loss in the bottom copy relative to the top copy. |
The intron size distributions were plotted as scattergrams with density ellipses for selected pairwise gene comparisons. |
