Fig. 1.
Location and structure of Mei1. (A) A diagram of central mouse Chr-15 indicating the position of Mei1 (mCG20390) and one other gene (mCG20391) between Ssfa1 and Srebf2. Boxes above gene names represent approximate gene size, except in the case of Srebf2, which extends further distally than is shown. Arrows in boxes indicate direction of transcription. The distance between D15Mit69 and D15Mit189 is 2 Mb. (B) Schematic of the intron/exon structure of Mei1. Boxes represent exons, and asterisks mark introns whose sizes are unknown due to gaps in available sequence. The location of the Mei1m1Jcs A-to-T splice acceptor mutation is indicated.
