The orientation of the bovine (Bos taurus) IGH locus on the chromosome 21 at 21q24 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 are not
included in the numbers displayed at the right ends of these two lines.
IGH gene names are according to the IMGT nomenclature [1].
All bovine (Bos taurus) IGHV, IGHD, IGHJ and IGHC genes are in direct orientation (5' → 3') in the locus.
