Figure 3From: Inventory of the cichlid olfactory receptor gene repertoires: identification of olfactory genes with more than one coding exonWebLogo representation of the AA conservation around the MAYDRY motif. Multiple alignment with MAFFT followed by PHYML clustering revealed two subgroups of cichlid OR: one with a classical MAYDRY motif followed by 3 cysteine residues indicated by a blue star; and a second with an altered MAYDRY motif in which the aspartate residue (D) is replaced by a glutamate residue (E). See Additional file 9 for the genes of each of these two groups and a complete alignment of their sequences.Back to article page
