^a When there are many poly-u loci in a species, they are named A, B, C, etc. These gene notations are different from those used by the previous authors. When there is only one poly-u locus, no name is given. The number of repeat genes in parentheses refers to the number of genes in the genome, and the number in front of the parentheses represents the number of genes for which the DNA sequence is available. (>x) indicates that the actual number of repeat genes may be greater than x.
^bThe poly-u B loci in mammalian species are considered to be orthologous, because the nucleotide sequences of the 3' flanking region of the loci are very similar. The sequence data for locus A were not available in cattle, sheep, and mouse.
p: poly-u locus. y: pseudogene. m52: monomeric locus attached with a 52-codon ribosomal protein gene. m80: monomeric locus attached with a 80-codon ribosomal protein gene.
