From: Divergence in cis-regulatory sequences surrounding the opsin gene arrays of African cichlid fishes
Alignment of two putative LWS opsin regulatory elements (CNE 7a and b) in fishes. A) Alignment of CNE 7a from five fish genomes to dre-miR-726. This region is highly similar among all fish species examined. Black box indicates the mature microRNA sequence. B) Alignment of CNE 7b from five fish genomes to the human LWS-LCR. These sequences show regions of high similarity between humans and fishes. Asterisks (*) indicate positions that are identical among all taxa; colons (:) indicate positions that are identical among four out of five taxa. Boxes highlight conserved transcription factor binding sites.
