Fig. 5.

Comparative analysis of the proximal 100 kb sequence of the human DJ region with primate genomes. Schematic representation of the proximal end of the human DJ region (contigs IDs: GL000220 and AL592188.60) and its comparative analysis are based on UCSC genomic data (https://genome.ucsc.edu/). The top 15 primate genomes with unambiguous levels of similarity/identity are presented, based on multiple alignments of 30 mammalian genomes. The 15 pairwise alignments of each specie with the human genome (green boxes) are shown below the NCBI RefSeq annotation of the genes as a wiggle track (“Multiz Alignments of 30 mammals”), where height indicates an alignment quality. NCBI annotations of seven exons of LncRNA NR_038958 located in the proximal region of DJ and other noncoding RNAs, including ribosomal RNAs, are shown as blue boxes
