Genomic structure L. longipalpis cycle gene. Schematic representation of the genomic structure L. longipalpis cycle gene. The introns are numbered and were drawn to scale. The first and the second introns are depicted by a broken line to indicate that their complete sequence has not been determined. The coding region of the L. longipalpis cycle gene consists of 8 exons and 7 introns and the conserved motifs are shown in blue (bHLH), green (PAS A and B respectively) and yellow (BCTR). In red is marked the approximate position of the alternatively spliced Arg (see text).
