Deletion of AQP genes in the second pair chromosomes in X. laevis. a Synteny analysis of the second chromosomes in the homeologs in X. laevis and X. tropicalis genome. The regions encoding AQP genes were shadowed in light yellow. The linkages between AQP genes were marked with red line. AQP gene names in Xla genome were marked beside the second chromosomes. b Synteny analysis of region-2A encoding AQPg3 ortholog. c Synteny analysis of region-2B encoding AQPc1 and AQPc2 orthologs. d Synteny analysis of region-2C encoding AQPc3 to AQPc6 orthologs. e Synteny analysis of region-2D encoding AQPs1 ortholog. In this figure, red curves represent the linked genes were appeared in both Xtr and the corresponding homeologs in Xla. Red dashed lines represent the genes that appeared in Xtr genome but absented in Xla genome
