genome. Once again, these small fragments are in the correct order and line up with the chicken region. FIGURE 2.9. The VIT1 and VIT2-VIT3 regions in the chicken and human genomes. White boxes indicate functional genes. Black boxes indicate sequence matches between the two genomes. The ELTD1, SSX2IP, and CTBS genes in humans and chickens are highly similar and line up with one another when comparing these regions. Small fragments of matching sequence can be seen covering both regions,
