Structure of part of the 185/333 locus. Scaffold_v2_79421 from the S. purpuratus genome assembly (Version 2, June 15, 2006) contains four linked 185/333 genes (diagram not to scale). Each of the genes includes a single intron in the predicted location. The element patterns of the genes are based on the cDNA-based alignment are indicated. Pattern D8 was not isolated from the cloned genes; however, it is similar to pattern D1, but contains Ex12 rather than Ex10. The orientations of the genes are indicated by the arrows. Dinucleotide (GA; striped ovals) flank the genes and trinucleotide repeats (GAT; solid parallelograms) are present on the 5' side of the genes.
