Partial and complete repeat sequences of FLG in human, chimpanzee, gorilla, orangutan, and crab-eating macaque. Left shows the repeat order of FLG in these primates based on the sequences from the National Center for Biotechnology Information database; the gorilla sequence had an unframed repeat at the end of the sequence, and the orangutan sequence had unframed repeats in the middle. Right shows the repeat order of FLG sequences acquired through the use of both PacBio RSII and MiSeq in this study. Black = partial repeats, white = complete repeats, and gray = regions with gaps. The nucleotide length of each repeat is shown beneath each repeat. The number of repeats varies between species
