Table 2.

Nucleotide sequence identity of the putative ALOX15 genes of the selected bony fish species with the different human ALOX genes. The nucleotide sequences of the putative ALOX15 cDNAs were extracted from the database and nucleotide sequence alignments were carried out using the EMBOSS Needle tool (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/psa/emboss_needle/ accessed on 25 April 2019). Bold letters and grey background mark average values.
