Figure 2. Absence of Crygd, Cryde, and Crygf in the guinea pig genome downstream of the Cryga-Crygc region. A: EyeBrowse view of NEIBank ESTs for guinea pig γ-crystallin genes, aligned to scaffold_13 of the guinea pig genome and mRNAs from GenBank. Cryga (EF457999), Crygb (EF426307) and Crygc (EF426306), were constructed from NEIBank EST data. There were no BLAT alignments to indicate the existence of guinea pig orthologs of the Crygd, Cryde, or Crygf genes. In this temporary scaffold, there were over 85,000 base pairs of gap-free DNA sequence downstream from Crygc. B: For comparison to the guinea pig, the mouse chromosome-1 region containing the γ-crystallin genes Cryga to Cryge, aligned to RefSeq (Reference Sequence) genes. Note: arrows indicate gene orientations, which are on the reverse strand.
