Figure 2. Structure of the bovine ASIP locus and resulting transcripts.

Figure 2

(A) Non-coding (gray) and coding exons of ASIP (black) are given as boxes and are numbered below. Exons in parentheses were not observed in this study. Smaller numbers indicate exon and intron sizes in base pairs. A LINE element (L1-BT) is inserted between non-coding and coding exons. The underlying sequence (GenBank accession no. GK000013.2) contains two gaps. The size of the first gap was determined by sequencing whereas the second gap was closed in silico by insertion of partial sequence from DQ000238.1. (B) Transcripts of the bovine ASIP gene resulting from different use of non-coding exons. Transcript 2C recruits a non-coding exon from the LINE. Transcript 1A was not observed in our study. The figure was modified and supplemented on the basis of data from Girardot et al. [6], [12].
