Genomic organization of α-defensin cluster at 8p23.1 region. A. Dot-plot of the PipMaker alignment of the 150 kb region containing the α-defensin cluster. The high density of segments showing alignment is due to the presence of defensin genes and pseudogenes, sharing a common genomic structure. Vertical coloured lines represent α-defensin genes and grey lines correspond to pseudogenes localizations. The 19 kb duplicons are indicated by arrows. Note that all human defensins are transcribed from the same direction. B. Phylogenetic tree of human α-defensins. Mouse ortholog of human DEFA1 gene was included as a root.
