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.
TRG gene names according to the IMGT nomenclature [1].
Single arrows show genes whose polarity is opposite to that of the J-C-CLUSTER comprising TRGJ (J1 to J3)-TRGC.
The bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) Locus representation is Fig. 1A modified from:
Linguiti G, Antonacci R, Tasco G, Grande F, Casadio R, Massari S, Castelli V, Consiglio A, Lefranc M-P, Ciccarese S.
Genomic and expression analyses of Tursiops truncatus T cell receptor gamma (TRG) and alpha/delta (TRA/TRD) loci reveal a similar basic public γδ repertoire in dolphin and human.
