Genomic organization of mouse plectin (A), human NOS1 (B), and rat GR (C) genes. Each gene contains a tandem array of multiple first exons in the variable region, each of which is separately spliced to a common set of downstream constant exons. The approximate length of each gene is shown below the corresponding panels.
