Figure 2

Phylogenetic extent and orthologous structure of the MaLR insertion locus in the primate lineage. (a) Gel chromatographs showing results of the PCR amplification of the MaLR-containing portion of an intron of SUPT16H in humans and 17 primates. Species are abbreviated as follows: HU: human; CH: chimpanzee; GO: gorilla; OR: orangutan; GI: gibbon; JM: Japanese macaque; RH: rhesus macaque; BM: bonnet macaque; MD: mandrill; MB: mangabey; AG: African green monkey; CO: colobus; LA: langur; NM: night monkey; SQ: squirrel monkey; CM: common marmoset; RT: ring-tailed lemur; and OG: galago. M indicates a size marker. (b) The alignment of MaLR-containing sequences in primates. The black box and lines indicate MaLR sequences and Japanese-macaque-specific 40 bp and 4 bp sequences, respectively.
