House mouse (Mus musculus) IGL locus on chromosome 16 (16A3) at 13cM

The orientation of the house mouse (Mus musculus) IGL locus on the chromosome 16 (16A3) at 13cM 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.

Distances are in kb (written in black for distances between genes, in blue for distances between an enhancer and the upstream gene).

Bornes of the house mouse (Mus musculus) IGL locus

• No 5' borne conserved between species has been identified upstream of IGLV2 (F), the most 5' gene in the locus.
• No 3' borne conserved between species has been identified downstream of IGLC1 (F), the most 3' gene in the locus.

The mouse (Mus musculus, Mus spretus) IGLV genes belongs to three subgroups (Gene tables: Mouse IGLV) which are part of three clans (Figure IGLV clans).

Clans comprise, respectively:

  • clan I: IGLV3 subgroup (IGLV4 to IGLV8 genes)
  • clan III: IGLV1 subgroup (IGLV1 and IGLV2 genes)
  • clan V: IGLV2 subgroup (IGLV3 gene)
