Figure 1

Genomic organization of SEPT9. The UCSC genome browser (http://genome.ucsc.edu) was used to display the location and genomic organization of SEPT9 on chromosome 17q25. (A) Genomic region covering approximately 300 kb: the eight amplicons (IDs given in red letters and within brackets) are shown after aligning their sequences using BLAST; CpG islands are shown in the track above the amplicons and gene transcripts are shown in the tracks below the amplicons. CGIs were numbered for easier reference within this manuscript. The UCSC display of transcripts is annotated with the combined IDs from Ensembl and NCBI/gene map for easier cross platform identification. (B) Detail of approximately 6 kb showing a higher resolution of the locations of the closely neighboring amplicons 4 to 7.
