From: Persistence of the ABCC6 genes and the emergence of the bony skeleton in vertebrates
Gene synteny analysis of the ABCC6 gene environment across vertebrates. The ABCC6 genes and pseudogenes (ABCC6P1 and ABCC6P2) and the sequence related ABCC1 gene are represented in red. The neighbouring genes are represented by other coloured boxes and the arrowheads represent transcript orientation predicted in the genome of each species. Members of the same family are indicated in the same colour and the members of families with multiple genes are indicated inside the arrowhead box. The genome fragments analysed and position of each gene is indicated below (Mb). The genome regions of the ABCC6 gene and the neighbouring genes that are likely to have duplicated and originated the primate ABCC6 pseudogenes in the human and gorilla genomes are boxed. The zebrafish abcc6b gene is dashed because two genes have been predicted (abcc6b1 and abcc6b2).
