Figure 1From: Chicken genome analysis reveals novel genes encoding biotin-binding proteins related to avidin familySchematic presentation of the genomic locations and orientations of the genes. The genomic location of the BBP-B gene is unknown, whereas contigs 166.108-111 reside in the Z-chromosome as schematically shown in lower part of the picture. According to previous studies, the most probable location is in the q21 telomeric region of the Z-chromosome (Alhroth et al., 2000).Back to article page
