Fig. 5.
Exon 6 of the Rhesus genes and parts of the adjacent introns. The sequence of the RHCE gene extending 202 bp 5′ of exon 6 to 1860 bp 3′ of exon 6 is shown. Numbers indicate the position relative to the first base of exon 5 in theRHCE gene. Exon 6 (bases 1902 to 2040) is demarcated by uppercase letters. Dashes denote nucleotides in the RHD gene that are identical, dots denote deletions. The breakpoint regions forDVI type I, DVI type II andDVI type III are indicated by asterisks. Repetitive DNA elements are marked by carets. The full intron 5 and intron 6 sequences of RHCE and RHD were deposited in EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ under accession numbers Z97333 (RHCE; 5,134 bp) and Z97364 (RHD; 5,146 bp).
