Genes flanking human and pufferfish globin loci.

Schematic drawings of the globin loci in human and pufferfish genomes. The human α-globin locus serves as the reference locus and is drawn to scale; flanking genes referred to in the text are color coded. Nomenclature is according to Flint et al.10Key to the color code: magenta indicates POLR3K; green, C16orf33; light orange, C16orf8; lavender,MPG; purple, C16orf35; red, globins; and peach,AANAT. Other genes are represented by dark gray; odorant receptor genes in the human β-globin locus are represented by light gray.
