This table represents DNA sequences upstream the ATG codon for 7 ribosomal protein genes. isolated on the E. cuniculi chromosome 2 and their orthologs in A. locustae, E. bieneusi, A. algerae, and N. ceranae. DNA signals are highlighted as bold characters for AAATTT-like sequence and underlined characters for CCC- and GGG-like sequences. (NS indicates a Not already Sequenced gene and the star character stands for mispredicted start codon).
