From: Characterization of the chicken T cell receptor γ repertoire by high-throughput sequencing
Dot-plot analysis of the chicken TCRγ sequence against itself or the duck TCRγ sequence. The dot-plot matrices were constructed using dotmatcher with 300 bp window size and 70 % identity threshold. Dots and lines indicate the regions that showed more than 70 % nucleotide similarity within the chicken TCRγ locus (A) or between chicken and duck TCRγ loci (B). In matrix A, the main homology units are indicated with red arrows. Different Vγ subgroups are shown in different colors in the schematic representation of chicken TCRγ locus alongside axes. Vγ segments from Vγ1 to Vγ6 subgroups are depicted in red, black, green, blue, yellow and purple, respectively
