Figure 1

Genomic organization of B. floridae globin (Gb) gene variants. Only the haplotypes represented in genome assembly v.2.0 are shown and the genomic scaffolds are indicated. Exons are represented by grey boxes, connected by lines indicating mRNA splicing. Exon and intron sizes and distances between linked genes are indicated by numbers (in bp). Intron positions (bold letters) are given with reference to the globin helical structure (e.g. intron E8.1 is located between codon positions 1 and 2 of amino acid residue 8 in helix E).
