Highly conserved gene order and numerous novel repetitive elements in genomic regions linked to wing pattern variation in butterflies-1

accession number CT955980) for and the bottom bar represents 180 kb of sequence in two large contigs for (clone BBAM-38A20, accession numbers AC193804). Black circles below bars represent hypothetical open reading frames (ORFs) greater than 60 amino acids, with the larger circles representing putative ORFs greater than 150 amino acids. Within each bar, the grey areas indicate repetitive sequence with the black regions indicating exon/intron structure of 13 predicted proteins (with arrow above bar indicating direction) showing a high similarity to known proteins in other arthropods. A visual representation of the global alignment between the two genomic sequences and the level of synteny is show at the bottom of the figure. The lines between the two sequences unite regions with high sequence identity (>85% of similarity).
