From: The integrins of the urochordate Ciona intestinalis provide novel insights into the molecular evolution of the vertebrate integrin family

Figure 1

Comparison of sequences recovered directly from the JGI C. intestinalis database before (A – Recovered) and after (B – Refined) sequence refinement. The annotated cartoons represent the domain structures of generic α & β integrin chains. Each subsequent row represents: (A – Recovered) the domain structure encoded by a sequence as retrieved directly from the database together with its assigned database accession number; and (B – Refined) the refined version of that gene after detailed analysis of the genomic sequence as described in the methods together with the name assigned during these analyses (e.g. Ci_α1). Refined sequences are presented as alignments in Fig. 3-7 and are also included as amino acid residue sequence files (see additional file 1).
