Fig 1. OXT gene in domestic camelids.

Fig 1

Comparative alignment of the complete nucleotide (nt) sequences of oxytocin-neurophysin I encoding (OXT) gene in domestic camelids. Numbering is relative to the first nucleotide of the first exon (+1) and dashes represent nt identical to those in the first line. In lower cases the 5’- and 3’- Un-Translated Regions (UTR), the polyadenylation signal is dot-underlined. The coding region corresponding to the signal peptide is underlined, whereas the sequence coding for the nonapeptide hormone is indicated in bold, and the neurophysin I is in bold italics. The tripeptide processing signal (GKR) is double underlined and asterisks indicate the stop codon. The duplication event of 21bp in C. dromedarius is wave-underlined. Polymorphic sites within the investigated samples are indicated with R = A/G, S = C/G and Y = C/T.
