Figure 3: Alignment of deduced amino acid sequences of all allele retrieved from four species of Turdidae family. Dots (.) indicate identity with the reference sequence. Light gray color represents codons presumably coding for peptide binding regions upon alignment with human and other avian species. Light brown region indicate flanking introns. (-) indicate missing nucleotides. (* ) Represents codons positively selected in almost all of test perform for selection analysis. (! ) indicates homologues region also positively selected in most of avian species. (# ) Inferred homology with human.
