a

BAC# is our nomenclature, whereas coordinates refer to plate addresses of the shark library from Arizona Genomics Institute.

b

Sequence submitted to GenBank. “ps” prefix indicates pseudogene, R indicates GL-joined VJ.

c

PCR primers in leader and JL. PCR fragment of 0.55 kb indicates GL-joined VJ (highlighted rows) and one >1 kb a split gene with ~500 bp intersegmental region.

d

Southern blotting of BAC DNA, filter probed with kappa probes to VL or CL.

e

VL gene determined non-functional “ps” prefix due to (1) mutation in RSS (RSS cgc), (2) splice motif defect, (3) insertions or stop codon that destroy the reading frame, or (4) defective C exon, where noted.

f

Genomic clones containing kappa genes, obtained from shark-Y DNA in previous study [26]. They are listed by their former phage names.
