Synteny of the SLC1A2/SLC1A7 genes. Genes located within the genomic regions from the human chromosomes 11p13 (A) and 1p32.3/p33 (B) are shown. Synteny between human regions flanking the SLC1A2 and SLC1A7 genes and zebrafish show several genes that are, in addition to the SLC1 genes, duplicated in the zebrafish genome. Note that slc1a7b is located on a small orthologous region to the human chromosome 1 covering only 6 genes. Zebrafish chromosomes 7 and 25, harbouring the slc1a2a and slc1a2b genes, have been previously reported to derive from a common protochromosome [8]. Duplicated genes in the zebrafish genome are shown in green and SLC1 genes are highlighted in red.
