Family With Sequence Similarity 173, Member A (FAM173A)

An example of a dual splice site (C16orf24) associated with intron retention. The evidence track is condensed due to the large number of supporting transcripts. FAM173A belongs to the FAM173 family. Using comparative genomics to assess the degree of conservation of a gene cluster. Rectangles represent the interacting gene pair LUC7L–C16orf24, which in human are located ,1 Mbp apart. Horizontal lines indicate chromosome segments and are labeled with the chromosome number. Both genes in the interacting gene pair are conserved in all chordate species used, but they are not within 1 Mbp in opossum and chicken and not on the same chromosome in teleost fishes and ascidian.
