Gene environment comparisons of the GCG/GLPs, PRP/PACAP, GHRH and SCT genes in Takifugu , Xenopus , chicken and human. Homologue genes were identified using sequence similarity approaches with the Takifugu genes. Takifugu scaffolds are named according to the Assembly 4 available at [93] and have a direct correspondence with ENSEMBL (eg: N000046 corresponds to Takifugu Ensembl scaffolds_46). Genes were named based on HUGO annotation and the size of the genome regions analysed indicated within brackets. Genes are represented by boxes and genomic regions are indicated by lines. The figure is not drawn to scale and genes are positioned according to their relative distance in the genome assembly. For simplicity, only homologue genes are represented and GCG/GLP, PRP/PACAP, GHRH and SCT genes are edited in bold and underlined.
