Comparison of theIFITM3gene promoter architecture in humans, mice and chickens.IFITM3 nucleotide sequences were obtained from GenBank at NCBI, including those of humans (Homo sapiens, NC_000011.10), mice (Mus musculus, NC_000073.6), and chickens (Gallus gallus, in this study). The TATA box was predicted by the Naive Bayes model and CpG islands (CGIs) were predicted by GPMiner. The left dotted box indicates the proximal promoter region, which is located 300 bp upstream of the transcription start site. The right dotted box indicates the body of the IFITM3 gene
