A Comparative Genomic and Phylogenetic Analysis of the Origin and Evolution of the CCN Gene Family

Figure 5

Chromosomal disposition of CCNs showed conserved synteny in mammals and frog. The genomic neighborhood surroundings of CCNs in single chromosome were observed. The black pentagon in the figure represents the CCN gene, while the white pentagon represents surrounding genes next to the CCN gene. Arrow of each pentagon represents the transcription orientation of each gene.
