Significant Microsynteny with New Evolutionary Highlights Is Detected through Comparative Genomic Sequence Analysis of Maize CCCH IX Gene Subfamily

Figure 3

Alignment of the amino acid sequences of CCCH IX proteins in three grass species. Identical (100%), conservative (75–99%), and blocks (50–74%) of similar amino acid residues are shaded in deep blue, dark pink, and light blue, respectively. The conserved CCCH zinc finger motifs are indicated by straight lines.
