A visualization and annotation of a genomic region in the vicinity of the 'cholinergic locus' at chromosome 10 (in human). For more information on the visualization, see [36]. Orange lined boxes mark the exons of the ChAT and several of the alternative transcripts. The orange bar indicates the entire length of the first ChAT non-coding exon. The level of conservation among Human-Mouse-Chimp-Rat-Dog-Chicken-Fugu and Zebrafish is shown graphically by the height of the conservation histogram. The pairwise conservation with human is depicted by the scale from black (high) to low (white) for each of the listed organisms. Note that the level of conservation in human-mouse-rat-Fugu extends beyond the coding region of VAChT (semi-transparent orange box).
