Figure 1

The Dlx1/Dlx2 bigene cluster in vertebrate evolution. Vertebrate phylogeny indicates the hypothesized position of the three genome duplication events (2R, 3R). The chromosomal neighbourhood of Dlx1/Dlx2 in mouse and zebrafish presents the relative position of flanking genes and of URE2. In the mouse, URE2 falls within intron 6 of the Metapl1 gene. Synteny information is not yet available for the elephant shark although the presence of the Dlx1 and Dlx2 genes on the same BAC clone as URE2 has been confirmed. Drawings are not to scale.
