Genomic architecture of the human beclin 1 gene. The genome database of National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and MethPrimer program were used to inspect the beclin 1 locus and CpG island, respectively. (A) Location of the beclin 1 gene within human chromosome 17. (B) 70-kb region flanking the beclin 1 gene and its relative location with neighbor genes. (C) Exon/intron structure of the human beclin 1 gene. (D) Graph of percent guanine (G) and cytosine (C) nucleotides across 5' region of the beclin 1 gene and location of CpG dinucleotides.
