Figure 2. Schematic summary of splice variant types associated with different regions of a generalized rhomboid protein.

Each region of the generalized rhomboid protein is indicated along with the total number of rhomboid and rhomboid-like genes that were accompanied by splice variants found in the databases. The genes considered belong only to the model organisms selected for study here and are tallied together independent of species. The total number of accompanying alternative splice variants determined for each region is also provided. These variants are again tallied independent of species. Entry details are summarized in Table S1. Both validated and unvalidated entry types were analyzed.
