Gene map and predicted conserved elements. The gene annotation is based on curated GenomeScan predictions and known tammar wallaby sequences (TNF and LTA). Conserved Elements were predicted using phastCons [15] and three subsets – the Highly Conserved Elements, Marsupial-Specific Elements and Unidentified In Opossum – were identified from the percent identity between the reference sequence and each of the aligned species. This data can be viewed on the tammar wallaby inflammatory region browser [21].
