The orientation of the domestic cat (Felis catus) IGL locus on the chromosome D3 is reverse (REV).
Legend:
Colors are according to IMGT color menu for genes.
The boxes representing the genes are not to scale. Exons are not shown.
A double slash // indicates a gap in genome assembly. Distances in bp (base pair) or in kb (kilobase) associated with a double slash are taken
into account in the length of the lines and included in the numbers displayed at the right end of the lines.
A dotted line ... indicates the distance in kb (kilobase) between the locus and its bornes (5' borne and the most 5' gene in the locus and/or 3'
borne and the most 3' gene in the locus) on the top and bottom lines, respectively. These distances are not represented at scale and/or are not
included in IMGT-LOCUS-UNIT and may not be included in the numbers displayed at the right ends of these two lines
.
IGL gene names are according to the IMGT nomenclature [1].
The Felis catus IGL J-C-CLUSTER comprises 11
cassettes indicated by the numbers 1 to 11 (IGLJ1-IGLC1, IGLJ2-IGLC2, IGLJ3-IGLC3, IGLJ4-IGLC4P-IGLC4, IGLJ5-IGLC5,
IGLJ6-IGLC6, IGLJ7-IGLC7, IGLJ8-IGLC8, IGLJ9-IGLC9, IGLJ10-IGLC10 and IGLJ11-IGLC11-IGLJ12, respectively).
Single arrows show genes whose polarity is opposite to that of the J-C-CLUSTER.
