Figure 1

Human β-defensin genes located on chromosome 20. (a) An ideogram of chromosome 20 is given in the left. Filled triangle indicates the location of the β-defensin gene cluster at 20q11.1. The empty triangle indicates the location of another β-defensin cluster at 20p13. Arrangement of the β-defensin genes near the centromeric region and distributed over 80 kilobases. (b) The Unigene accession numbers and Unigene-defined exons are indicated on the left. The positions of exons that we determined are given on the right with the respective defensin gene names. Arrows indicate the direction of transcription of each gene. This figure is based on human genome Build 35.1 available at MapView (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mapview).
