Figure 2.
Alignment of RPGRORF15 amino acid sequences from nine primate species showing high levels of insertion/deletion events within the central repetitive region compared with the nonrepetitive regions flanking it. Glutamic acid (green shading) and glycine (red shading) amino acids are highlighted. The central repetitive region was variable in length, consistent with a high rate of indels during primate evolution over the past 65 to 70 million years.
