Fish-specific paralogons in the medaka genome in the vicinity of the ST8Sia III and ST8Sia III-r genes. The physically-mapped genome of medaka O. latipes (Ola) was used to identify conserved gene neighbours of the ST8Sia III and ST8Sia III-r genes and to identify orthologs by chromosomal walking and reciprocal TBLASTN searches of genes adjacent to ST8Sia loci. Putative orthologs were determined with information available from the Ensembl server. Paralogous ST8Sia III neighbour genes are linked with red lines and the ST8Sia III gene is indicated by a red box whereas ST8Sia V neighbour genes are linked with green lines and the ST8Sia V gene is shown as a green box. The ST8Sia III-r gene is denoted by a pink box.
