Fig. 4. Identification and syntenic analysis of POU family genes. (A) Phylogenetic analysis of predicted amino acid sequences from 31 genes that encode POU domain proteins. Xtr, X. tropicalis, Xla, X. laevis. As in mammals, POU family genes of X. laevis could be grouped into 6 classes according to sequence similarities. (B) Location of homeologous gene pairs on X. laevis chromosomes. In almost all POU classes, both homeologs were identified (blue box). Gene loss of one homeolog was found in several homeologous gene pairs (white box), leaving singletons (red box). Orthologs of mammalian pou5f1 and pou5f2 were not found in the corresponding position (white box). Image published in: Watanabe M et al. (2017) Copyright © 2017.
