Amino acid comparison and synteny analysis of CUG2 gene. A. Clustal X alignment of CUG2 amino acid sequences of vertebrate homologues, with identical residues marked in black. B. Synteny between cug2 on zebrafish chromosome 16 and CUG2 on human chromosome 6. Using Synteny Database, synteny in the vicinity of cug2 gene were analyzed using zebrafish (Zv8) as the source genome and human (GRCH37) as the outgroup. The approximate position of cug2 is marked in red. Orthologue pairs of genes are connected by lines. Non-paired genes are not shown. The synteny occurs between the segments of zebrafish chromosome 16 and human chromosome 6 that contain the CUG2 gene.
