Ly49 and the NKC gene clusters display dramatic gene content variation. A Ly49 haplotypes for four mouse strains adapted from [48] showing genes with sequence homology (color-coded circles) and sets of genes that likely arose through recent duplication events (shaded rectangles). The Ly49 nomenclature as opposed to the standardized Klra# gene nomenclature has been used as some of the genes listed are not in the mouse reference genome and hence do not yet have approved gene symbols. B Gene content variation of Ly49 (KLRA; brown), KLRH (yellow), NKG2/CD94 (KLRC/D; blue), KLRJ (green), KLRI/E (purple), and NKG2D (KLRK; red) genes in the NKC adapted from [293]. The figure is not drawn to scale; it is designed to highlight common sequences (ψ: pseudogene)
