Fig 5. A comparison of the Eph genetic region in L. cuprina and D. melanogaster.

Fig 5

The length and direction of arrows indicates the sizes of genes and direction of transcription. Genes in the L. cuprina 402 kb scaffold 328 (A) and 200 kb region of the D. melanogaster fourth chromosome containing the Eph gene (B) are shown. To facilitate comparison, LcEph and Eph are shown with red arrows whereas Lcgw and gw are in green. The D. melanogaster orthologs of L. cuprina genes that were part of this study are in orange. The Lcaru and LcJwa genes are in blue. The orthologous aru and Jwa genes are located on chromosome 2L in D. melanogaster. The approximate gene boundaries shown for the L. cuprina genes are based on alignments of transcripts with the genome sequence but remain to be experimentally confirmed.
