Figure 4. Schematic Diagrams Detailing the Chromosomal Regions Surrounding the Human and Chicken Melanopsin Loci.

Figure 4

(A) Comparison of syntenic regions encompassing the OPN4 locus on human chromosome 10 with that of the Opn4m locus on chicken Chromosome 4. Gene order has been conserved.

(B) Comparison of representative loci between the PTGD2 and SEC24B genes on human Chromosome 4q22.3-q25 (approximately 1 Mb apart) and the orthologous loci on chicken Chromosome 4. Note the intrachromosomal rearrangements and lack of an OPN4X locus in humans.
