Figure 4From: Assessing the impact of comparative genomic sequence data on the functional annotation of the DrosophilagenomeVISTA plot of genome organization and sequence conservation in the Drosophila ap region. From top to bottom are pairwise comparisons between D. melanogaster and D. erecta (mel-ere), D. pseudoobscura (mel-pse), D. virilis (mel-vir) and A. gambiae (mel-ano), respectively. Features of this plot are as in Figure 3. Shown are five CNCS clusters corresponding to the muscle enhancer [91], the brain-specific enhancer empirically verified in this study (Figure 8), and three predicted enhancers labeled CNCS clusters 1, 2 and 3. Note that the HB transposable element in the region 5' to ap is located between CNCS clusters and is not conserved between species.Back to article page
