I looked for the ortholog of a gene in
Drosophila,
(where there is only one member of this gene
family)
in another genome, Anopheles gambiae.
I found the ortholog but also two other isoforms
of this gene.
Three isoforms *adjacent* to each other on the
chromosome.
What's more, the intron/exon boundaries between
the
two most similar are conserved!
Can someone tell me if this is novel? I don't
know where to look.
I have heard of clustering but these are right
next to each other.
It is not alternative splicing right?
I observe:
-------A------------B------------C------------------a----b------c---
where A and are homologous exons. If you had
alternativeplicing the
genomic orgization would be different, right? I
would expec this:
--------A--------a-------B--------b--------C--------c-----
