Maps and structural comparison of the euchromatic and heterochromatic Stellate gene clusters. (A) Schematic illustration of the location of the Stellate clusters relative to the rest of the X Chromosome. (B) Overview of the structure of the euchromatic Stellate locus. The numbers on the top represent full-length Stellate sequences in the tandem array. (C) Overview of the structure of the heterochromatic Stellate locus. Type_1 and Type_2 loci are marked by labels on the top in iso-1. The numbers on the bottom represent full-length Stellate sequences in the particular locus. The light pink color parallelograms represent syntenic sequences (drawn by eye). Purple half-rectangles represent the ∼200-kb tandem segmental duplicates harboring some of Type_1 loci.
