(a) Alignment of fTRGV5P (gnl$|$ti$|$663092402) with previously published V-region genes of the feline TRG. The two stop codons are underlined (bp139–141 and bp157–159). (b) Alignment of fTRGV4 and the newly identified pseudogenes fTRGV4.1P ($\underline{\text{gnl}|\text{ti}|838072588}\text{,}$$\underline{\text{gnl}|\text{ti}|827924706}$), -4.2P ($\underline{\text{gnl}|\text{ti}|643947952}\text{,}$$\underline{\text{gnl}|\text{ti}|646819523}\text{,}$$\underline{\text{gnl}|\text{ti}|644534307}$), and -4.3P ($\underline{\text{gnl}|\text{ti}|631627457}\text{,}$$\underline{\text{gnl}|ti|630610594}\text{,}$$\underline{\text{gnl}|ti|2159892447}$). Conserved amino acids together with the unique IMGT-numbering [15] and characteristic motifs are indicated below the DNA sequence.
