Figure 5

Diagrammatic representation of the genomic organizations of the riok-2 from Strongyloides stercoralis (Ss-riok-2) and orthologues from Chaetomium thermophilum (Ct-riok-2), Caenorhabditis elegans (Ce-riok-2) and Haemonchus contortus (Hc-riok-2). The organization of each gene was determined by aligning the cDNA and genomic DNA sequences, with intron-exon boundaries being defined using the GT-AG rule. Black boxes represent exons, whilst horizontal lines represent introns. Numbers below the boxes indicate the sizes of exons (in nucleotides), whereas numbers above the lines indicate the intron sizes.
