From: Isolation, characterization and comparison of Atlantic and Chinook salmon growth hormone 1 and 2
A) The genomic organization of growth hormone 1 and 2 gene loci in Atlantic and Chinook salmon. Approximate sizes of the sequenced bacterial artificial chromosomes are indicated in parentheses. Growth hormone 1 and 2 genes and their flanking genes are represented by boxes with transcriptional directions indicated by arrowheads. The introns for the genes are not shown. Pseudogenes are indicated by open boxes. B) A comparison of Atlantic salmon and Chinook salmon gh1 and gh2 loci shown in VISTA plots. Regions of high similarity (50 to 100%; vertical axis) are separated by gaps that represent repeat sequences, deletions and insertions. Orthologous comparisons (AS gh1 and CS gh1, and AS gh2 and CS gh2) appear more similar than paralogous comparisons (gh1 and gh2).
