Chromosomal locations of zebrafish NLR proteins. The 11 chromosomes containing the main clusters of NLR genes are shown. The number of NLR genes on each chromosome is listed below the chromosome number. A further 42 genes) are distributed on 11 other chromosomes, and 20 genes are on as yet unplaced contigs. This list includes a compilation of all predictions (automated as well as manually annotated) and locations of hits from a TBLASTN search for NACHT domains. Future improvements of the genome assembly and further manual annotations will most likely result in minor changes of this map. Genes are denoted by lines on the right of the chromosome irrespective of orientation. NLR, nucleotide-binding domain/NACHT domain and leucine rich repeat containing family.
