Paralogous relationships of WOC/ZMYM/QRICH1 genes. (A) Two conserved intron positions among WOC, ZMYM2, ZMYM3, ZMYM4 and QRICH1. Introns are printed in lowercase letters and shaded. Protein sequences are shown below nucleotide sequences. The upper and lower intron positions correspond to the 20th and 22nd introns of human ZMYM2, respectively. (B) The synteny blocks of ZMYM2, ZMYM3 and ZMYM4. Ohnologous relationships reported by Makino and McLysaght [33] are indicated by dotted lines. GJB = gap junction protein β; GJA = gap junction protein α; DLGAP3 = discs large homolog-associated protein 3; C1orf212 = chromosome 1 open reading frame 212. Other gene names are described in the text.
