Fig. 3.—

Local gene synteny analysis of TLR5 regions in all investigated teleost species in addition to representatives from mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, coelacanths above, and non-teleost bony fish (Lepisosteus oculatus) below. The dark gray box represents the species derived from Malmstrøm et al. and Atlantic cod, and the light gray box encompasses all teleost species investigated. The synteny is presented with up to two flanking genes both up-stream and down-stream of the TLR5 region. Due to the fragmented nature of the novel teleost genomes only one flanking gene up- and down-stream of the TLR5 region is presented (see supplementary table 2, Supplementary Material online, for details). Colors are only for visualization. ORF: open reading frame representing reported gene models in the Ensembl genomes without gene name annotation. *This region has been reversed for presentation purposes. **Only novel teleost species, where local gene synteny was possible, are represented in this syntenic presentation. Also see supplementary tables S4–S6, Supplementary Material online.
