IMGT Repertoire (IG and TR)
Locus representation: Sheep (Ovis aries) TRG locus on chromosome 4 (4q3.1 and 4q2.1)
In cattle (bovine, Bos taurus) and sheep (ovine, Ovis aries), the TRG genes are organized in two loci on chromosome 4:
- the TRG1 locus at position 4q3.1 (102.8 cM) spans about 150kb and comprises three TRGC genes (TRGC5, TRGC3 and TRGC4), each TRGC gene is preceded by one or several V genes and J genes [1].
- the TRG2 locus at position 4q2.2 (69.4 cM) spans about 90kb in sheep and comprises three TRGC genes (TRGC1, TRGC2 and TRGC6), each one preceded by its own set of V and J genes. [2].
The TRG1 locus at 4q3.1 is syntenic to the human TRG locus at 7p14, whereas the TRG2 locus at 4q2.2 is a peculiarity of the cattle and sheep.

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.
Arrows indicate the TRGC cassettes and the transcriptional orientation of their genes.
