Figure 2.
Nucleotide sequence alignments of the Alu elements identified in the DRB genes of platyrrhini, strepsirrhini, and haplorrhini. The shaded boxes represent the flanking direct repeats that are created during the insertion of the Alu element. InAlu62 and Alu63, the diagnostic positions used for the subfamily classification are highlighted. A simple majority consensus sequence is given at the top. A dash (-) indicates identity with the consensus, an asterisk (*) an indel, and a dot (.) unavailability of sequence information. Numbering above the sequences starts with the first nucleotide of the alignment.
