The orientation of the sheep (Ovis aries) IGL locus on the chromosome 17 is forward (FWD).
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 Ovis aries IGL J-C-CLUSTER comprises 2 cassettes indicated by the numbers 1 and 2 (IGLJ1-IGLC1 and IGLJ2-IGLC2, respectively).
Single arrows show genes whose polarity is opposite to that of the J-C-CLUSTER.
Gene names of IGLV pseudogenes with frameshift(s) in the V-REGION are not displayed due to a lack of space in the locus map at the IMGT standardized scale (line = 200 kb). For all gene names, see Zoom x2.
