Figures & data
Figure 1 Sequence alignment of tetraspanins from the groups CD9/TSPAN2/CD81, CD82/CD37 and TSPAN8, depicting possible intron sliding positions 1b and 1c. The alignment shows the full sequence between ancestral intron positions 1 and 2. Vertical bars indicate exon/intron junctios 1, 1a, 1b and 1c and 2. In the alignment the presence of an intron is shown within the amino acid sequences by a red number, which indicates the intron phase (0 is between codons, 1 is between the first and second position of a codon). Shade colours code: orange identical in all sequences; green identical and yellow similar to Sea skirt sequences. Mouse, Mus musculus; Chicken, Gallus gallus; Frog, Xenopus tropicalis; Bony fish, (zebrafish) Danio rerio; Cartilaginous fish, (shark) Callorhinchus mili; Lamprey, Petromyzon marinus; Sea skirt, Ciona intestinalis.
