Genomic contexts of matrilin genes in T. nigroviridis and D. rerio. The genomic contexts of matrilin gene family members from (A), T. nigroviridis and (B), D. rerio, were analysed for conservation of neighboring genes with human, mouse and chicken, as shown in Fig. 3, and with each other. Partial synteny was identified. Each diagram represents the order of genes along a portion of the indicated chromosomes. Each horizontal line represents a gene: red lines represent genes that are syntenic and black lines represent non-conserved intervening genes. The numbers indicate the exact location in nucleotides of each region on its respective chromosome in each species. HUGO gene names are given, and the matrilin genes are indicated in red.
