Figure 3.

Synteny conservation around IL-10 in poxvirus genomes. As for Fig. 2. The gene of interest, IL-10, is colored red with a bold outline. A horizontal line that crosses a box, indicates that this gene is not part of the contiguous segment. (A) Neighborhood with respect to "core families". The Serine/Threonine Kinase gene has experienced a local inversion in the parapox genomes and is shown in two columns for clarity; (B) Neighborhood with respect to "ortholog families".
