Fig. 3. Evolutionary conservation of the eve 2 D2 region. (A) Sequences of
the eve 2 enhancer region between the Bcd2 and Kr4 sites are shown
for D. melanogaster (mel), D. erecta
(ere), D. yakuba (yak), D. pseudoobscura
(pse) and D. picticornis (pic). Blocks of identical
sequences at least three bases long are shaded in blue. (B) Sequences of
similar repeats of the GTTT motif in three different eve
enhancers.
