From: Low number of mitochondrial pseudogenes in the chicken (Gallus gallus) nuclear genome: implications for molecular inference of population history and phylogenetics

Figure 1

Representation of the chicken mitochondrial genome and chicken karyotype. Gene names are as follows: cyt b – cytochrome b; COI, COII and COIII – subunits I, II and III of cytochrome oxidase; ND1-6 – subunits 1 to 6 of NADH reductase; tRNAs are represented by their IUPAC one-letter amino acid abbreviations; ribosomal gene subunits are represented by 12S and 16S. Relative position of each Numt, and their numbers as in Table 2, are shown outside the circular mitochondrial genome. A karyotype representation for chicken is shown inside the circular mitochondrial genome. Chromosomes 1–8 are macrochromosomes, W and Z are sex chromosomes, and all others are microchromosomes. Not all chicken microchromosomes can be unambiguously identified by conventional banding techniques, and they are not represented here. Range for BLAST scores is also shown.
