Syntenic mapping of the RLN1/RLN2/INSL4/INSL6 locus in tetrapods. Schematic representation of relaxin locus syntenic to the RLN1/RLN2/INSL4/INSL6 locus on human chromosome 9 in chimpanzee (P. troglodytes), Rhesus monkey (M. mulatta), cow (B. taurus), dog (C. familiaris), mouse (M. musculus), rat (R. norvegicus), the gray short-tailed opossum (M. domestica), platypus (O. anatinus), chicken (G. gallus), and the clawed frog (X. tropicalis). The relaxin family genes on the syntenic relaxin family locus B (RFLB) locus of different vertebrates are indicated by black rectangles, whereas, neighboring genes are indicated by blank rectangles (35). The chromosomal numbers or the genomic contig numbers are indicated at the bottom of the schematic representation of each genomic fragment. The positions of select genes in the genomes of human and X. tropicalis are also indicated (*), part of the syntenic region on chromosome 8 of cow is mapped to unknown chromosome in the GenBank™.
