 Schematic Representation of the Chicken Gamma Locus. The schematic displays the location of the coding exons for the TRGV, TRGJ and TRGC genes of TCR gamma. Four distinct families of TRGV genes (different coloured boxes) are indicated with subfamily numbering based upon genomic location. RSS sequences were identified downstream of all indicated, non-pseudogenised TRGV genes. TRGV genes with a full length ORF are indicated with a solid fill and those with a disrupted ORF by a striped fill. Those found to be expressed and rearranged by RTPCR and sequencing are bounded by a black outline and those not identified as expressed are bounded by a grey outline. The proportion of rearrangements attributed to each TRGV gene are displayed below the label. These were calculated from the averages of every tissue across every bird in this study. Genes which are too similar to be reliably distinguished from one another during the TRGV gene assignment stage of processing are represented by an asterisk
