Comparison of the MMPs cluster on X. tropicalis Scaffold_119 to that on human Chromosome 11. X. tropicalis MMP cDNA sequences were used to do BLAST search against the X. tropicalis genomic sequences to locate the genes on the assembly scaffolds. MMP 1, 3, 7, 13, 18, 20, 26, as well as the novel ones MMP N2, N4 and N5 are found on Scaffold_119. They were arranged on the scaffold according to their location and orientation. The human MMPs on Chromosome 11 were arranged according to the annotations for their locations and orientations in Human Genome Build 36.3 on the NCBI website. The MMPs shown above the line for the chromosome/scaffold are MMPs specific to X. tropicalis or human while those shown below are the MMPs present in both species. Mb, mega base pair; kb, kilo base pairs. Note the gene size was not drawn to scale for clarity.
