Figure 4. Schematic showing nucleotide sequences and amino acid profiles of the rhodopsin exon 5 and intron 5 c.36+126.
A: Schematic showing nucleotide sequences and amino acid profiles of the rhodopsin exon 5 and intron 5 c.36+126. Amino acids
are represented by capital letters. Gray highlights represent primer sites. The poly-T region is shown in red. Reference sequence
is
NG_009115.1.
B: The poly-T region is present in the nine subjects and ranges from 14 to 16 T nucleotides.
C: Schematic of the primate phylogenetic tree (data from Tolweb.org) showing the poly-T repeats are highly conserved in New
World monkeys, Old World monkeys, great apes, gibbons, and humans.
