Conserved sequences in the Dlx5/Dlx6 intergenic region. (A) Schematic representation of the Dlx5/Dlx6intergenic region of five vertebrate species. The third exon of theDlx genes are indicated. The position of the polyadenylation sequence in the Dlx genes of Spheroides andTakifugu is an estimate. In addition to the I56i and I56ii sequences, ovals labeled iii, iv, and v represent regions of sequence conservation between a subset of the five species. Sequence alignments can be found as supplemental files. (B) Percentage identity for I56i and I56ii in pairwise sequence comparisons.
