Conservation of human and mouse skeletal MyHC gene organization. Closed arrows indicate transcriptional orientation determined for human and mouse genes. Open arrow indicates transcriptional orientation determined for mouse only. Intergenic distances as determined by long range PCR are 1, 4.5 kb (for human and mouse) between MyHC-IIa and MyHC-IIx/d, and 2, 9.0 kb (human) and 5.0 kb (mouse) between MyHC-IIx/d and MyHC-IIb. Unlabeled intergenic distances are estimated to be ≈15–60 kb. Each gene cluster spans at least 350 kb.
