From: Evolutionary analysis of the kinesin light chain genes in the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti: gene duplication as a source for novel early zygotic genes

Figure 1

Coding sequence structure and domains of kinesin light chain genes of mosquitoes and D. melanogaster. On the left are the AaKLC2-like genes and on the right are the AaKLC1-like genes. Vertical bars show location of introns and intron size is given below bars. Note conservation of gene structure (vertical lines show conservation of intron position). Intron sizes are shown as number of bases and are given below vertical bars. Rab5-bind, Rabaptin 5-binding domain. TPR, tetratricopeptide repeat domain. Shaded parts indicate those genes that have been analyzed by RT-PCR and Illumina transcriptome profiling (only AaKLC2.1 is shown). Predicted introns are taken from Vectorbase.org and Ensembl.org.
