Figure 1

Graphical representation of the IFNGR1 upstream multiple alignment generated in SynPlot. The sequences of each species are shown as lines interrupted by spaces corresponding to the gaps inserted for optimum global alignment. The horizontal axis represents the distance from the start of the alignment, and the vertical axis represents the percentage identity score generated by SynPlot (scale, 0%–100% sequence identity across all species). Peak regions that correspond to conserved noncoding sequences, as opposed to coding sequences or repeat features, are numbered. Other features are colour coded according to the key.
