Short-range gene linkage analysis of the chicken PTHRs with other metazoans. The homologue genome regions in Ciona amphioxus, zebrafish, Xenopus and human were compared. Genes are represented by boxes and the size of the chromosome region analysed is given within brackets. Genes were named according to the HUGO annotation and lines indicate chromosome/scaffolds segments. The PTHR genes are represented by black boxes and gene name is in bold. The conserved linked genes are in colour to facilitate identification (yellow, PTH1R; orange, PTH2R and green, PTH3R) and an average of the distance compared is given within brackets. For simplicity, only syntenic genes are represented. Figure is not drawn to scale.
