SPATA31 gene family expansion in humans. The gene structure and chromosome localization of SPATA31 genes based on the human reference (hg38), rhesus macaque (rheMac3) and mouse (mm10) genomes are shown. The mouse harbors a single copy that has duplicated and diverged into an A and a C type in macaque. Further segmental duplications are found in humans on chromosome 9
