Figure 6
Synteny of the slc1a8/slc1a9 gene family. Genomic regions around the new zebrafish slc1a8/slc1a9 subfamilies are shown. SLC1 genes are highlighted in red. (A) Adjacent to both, the slc1a8a and the slc1a8b gene respectively, the elavl1 gene (highlighted in green) can be found. In addition multiple genes flanking the slc1a8 loci localize to the same human chromosomal region (19p13.2/3), (B) Zebrafish genes adjacent to slc1a9 can be found on the long arm of the human chromosome 19 in the region q13.3. Note that several genes upstream and downstream of the slc1a9 genes are localized within a narrow band (1,6 × 106 bases) on chromosome 19.
