Pairwise nucleotide alignment of putative doublesex promoter regions of Culex quinquefasciatus (bottom) and Aedes aegypti (top). Initiator box (Inr) and downstream promoter element (DPE) are boxed in yellow. The transcription start site (TSS) at position +1 and DPE at position +28 are marked. Exon 1 (spliced as UTR in both male and female mRNA) is outlined in black. The sequence logo plot below the alignment illustrates conservation
