Table 3. Comparisons of crx sequences by exon across species (percent identity)

Cross-species sequence comparisons of Crx. The three identified exons in zebrafish Crx share sequence identity with all the four identified exons in the mammalian CRX genes. A: Zebrafish Crx Exon 1 shares a region of moderate sequence identity with human, mouse and dog Crx Exon 1 in the non-coding, 5' untranslated region. B: A second region of zebrafish Crx Exon 1 shares slightly higher sequence identity with human, mouse and dog Crx Exon 2. This slight increase in sequence identity is attributable to the high sequence identity within the coding regions. C: The coding regions in Zebrafish Crx Exon 2 and the mammalian Exon 3 and zebrafish Exon 3 and the mammalian Exon 4 share the highest sequence identity. D: The lowest level of identity is in the non-coding, 3' untranslated regions of zebrafish Crx exon 3 and the mammalian CRX exon 4. These comparisons used sequences from zebrafish ("Z"; Danio rerio; AF0503443); human ("H"; Homo sapiens; BC016664, BG396702); mouse ("M"; Mus musculus; AK053533); dog ("D"; Canis familiaris; AF454668).
