Repeated sequence motifs in the Gtl2 upstream region in mouse, human, and sheep. (A) Repeat array 1 is located 12.5–15 kb upstream of Gtl2 in mouse, human, and sheep. Shown are the repeated motifs and the derived consensus sequences. Positions that fit the consensus sequences are shown on a grey background. The similarity of the mouse, human, and sheep consensus sequences is shown in the box. (B) Repeat array 2 in the mouse is located 13.3 kb upstream of Gtl2 in the mouse. Positions that are identical to the consensus sequence are shaded.
