In strains AX3 and AX4 (the sequenced strain represented in dictyBase), chromosome 2 contains a duplication of approximately 750 kb. This duplication is not found in strain AX2. In the AX4 sequence represented in dictyBase, the region from base 2249563 to 3002134 is repeated between bases 3002337 and 375508. Electronic and manual annotations are made to genes on the first repeat of the duplication only. All Gene Pages of duplicated genes contain a note alerting the user to the fact that it is a duplicated gene, see carA and its duplicate DDB0217181. You can view lists of the genes present on the first repeat and on the second repeat.
