Alignment of exon 1 from zebrafish crx with exons 1 and 2 from mammalian CRX identifies two regions of sequence similarity. Exon 1 of zebrafish crx contains regions of sequence similarity with both exons 1 and 2 of the mammalian CRX genes. The highest sequence identity is in the coding region and flanking 5′ untranslated regions of exon1 in zebrafish crx and exon 2 in mammalian crx. There is a second region of sequence similarity between the 5′ UTR of the zebrafish and exon 1 of the mammalian crx genes. The translation start site (ATG) is indicated by the three astericks (***) and identical bases are shown in blue. The following sequences were used in this alignment: Zebrafish (Danio rerio; AF503443) human (Homo sapiens; BC016664, BG396702); mouse (Mus musculus; AK053533); and dog (Canis familiaris; AF454668).
