Figure 1. Regions upstream of the mammalian NAGS genes that are highly conserved.

Figure 1

Conservation of mammalian NAGS DNA by phastCons (green) and phyloP (blue) algorithms is shown with the highly-conserved regions indicated in red boxes (A). Pair-wise blast analysis of mammalian non-coding regions of NAGS identified highly conserved sequences upstream of the translational start site termed the promoter (purple) and enhancer (cyan) (B).
