Figure 1

Human DUB/USP17 family members. Representative diagrams of (A) chromosome 4 (GRCh37 primary reference assembly [GenBank: NC_000004]) from bases 9,200,000 to base 9,400,000 and (B) chromosome 8 (GRCh37 primary reference assembly [GenBank: NC_000008]) from bases 7,185,000 to 7,205,000, 7,820,000 to 7,840,000 and 11,980,000 to 12,000,000. The approximate position of the identified human DUB/USP17 sequences are indicated by the boxes illustrated and the appropriate loci numbers are indicated adjacent. (C) Phylogenetic tree of the identified human DUB/USP17 DNA sequences generated using a ClustalW2 alignment. The chromosome of origin is indicated by the brackets and accompanying labels. The sequence accession numbers can be found in Additional file 8.
