Nucleotide sequence of the 5′-flanking regions of the human LW gene and the marmoset MW/LW gene, plus the homologous region of the human MW gene. Identity to the human LW sequence is indicated by a dot. Indels are indicated by dashes in the deleted sequence. The shaded regions identify the LCR core, the deleted region of the L1 repeat element in the marmoset, and the TATA box. Marmoset sequence, GenBank accession no. AF155218.
