Sequence alignment of the oligonucleotide primers with target sequences in Cetacea, Cattle and Man. Species and chromosomal location are given on the right side. Shaded columns represents the nucleotide mutated in Dolphins. Accession numbers of sequences follow: Dolphins (EMBL:AM744958–AM744964, EMBL:AM744970–AM744971, EMBL:AM744968, EMBL:AY787743S2 – Y and EMBL:AM744965 – X) and Whales (EMBL:AM744967, EMBL:AM744969 -X- and EMBL:AM744966 – Y), Cattle (GenBank:AB091789 -X- and GenBank:AB091790 – Y) and Man (GenBank:NT_011757 -X- from 9098117 to 9098612 and GenBank:NC_000024 -Y- from 6796200 to 6796719).
