Fig. 3. Rabbit Brachyury cDNA fragment and predicted protein sequence (A), interspecific comparison of protein sequence (B) and cladogram (C) show that rabbit cDNA and protein sequence fall within the Brachyury (T)-family. Amino acids in the T-box are shown in blue, other residues in green. Deviations from the consensus sequence are highlighted in red. Sequences were taken from the following papers: mouse (Herrmann et al., 1990); human (Edwards et al., 1996); chick (Kispert et al., 1995); Xenopus (Smith et al., 1991); zebrafish (Schulte-Merker et al., 1992); Amphioxus (Holland et al., 1995); Halocynthia roretzi (Yasuo and Satoh, 1998); Hydra (Technau and Bode, 1999); mouse tbx2 (Bollag et al., 1994); mouse tbx6 (Agulnik et al., 1996).
