Figure 2.

Nucleotide sequence of CMAR cDNA, JY44. Nucleotides underlined in bold indicate the originally described CMAR cDNA sequence. The position of the CACA repeat in a CMAR polymorphic variant is indicated by the dots after nucleotide 2,232. The proposed methionine start sites boxed at positions 2,131–2,213 for the variant are indicated with an arrow. Other start codons in translation frame 1 at positions 949–1,111 and in frame 3 at positions 552–1,611 are boxed. The underlined sequence between nucleotides 1,021–1,580 indicates the region showing strong homology with vik. The two blocks of sequence between nucleotides 200–500 and 700–900 indicate the regions containing Alu repeat elements. Regions in which ests have been found, nucleotides 1,200–1,750 and 1,800–2,411 are indicated on the right.
