Delimitation of motifs using conserved motifs as anchors. The delimitation of motifs using conserved motifs as anchors is used for the description of a V-GENE-UNIT (A), D-GENE-UNIT (B) and J-GENE-UNIT (C). This approach is necessary and sufficient for the description of a D-GENE-UNIT or that of a J-GENE-UNIT. The description of a V-GENE-UNIT requires two additional steps: the delimitation of the V-REGION and of its constitutive regions and conserved motifs by IMGT/V-QUEST [32], and the delimitation of L-PART2.
