Amylase gene cluster. a The sequence homology in the amylase locus for mouse (top) and Nile rat rendered using miropeats. The five TOGA annotations of amylase are each rendered using separate colors. The blue and purple copies show amylase-2 homologies, orange is amylase-1, and red/green lines are annotated pseudogenes. b Pairwise similarity of amylase genes in human, Nile rat, mouse, and Norway rat, ordered according to their genomic coordinates. c A phylogenetic tree using COBALT multiple sequence alignment of amylase proteins from each of the four genomes in b and white footed mouse
