Alternatively spliced exons of the mouse Agpat1 gene found by genome comparison. The upper part of the figure is the graphic representation of the alignment from the result of BLASTN search, against the mouse EST database. The query sequence is the 6-kb upstream sequence from the first coding exon of the gene Agpat1. The graph below is the VISTA output of this region. Three alternatively spliced exons can be clearly identified and mapped to the conserved genomic sequence (see arrows). The coding sequence begins from the eleventh base of the second exon (see the ATG sign).
