Fig. 1. Schematic of the methodology used by the jamboree team to identify, correct, and validate gene annotation in new genome browser (v.10). MSA: multisequence alignments.

Fig. 2. CXCL8 protein alignment. The protein alignment was performed using ClustalW2 server. Fully conserved residues are indicated by an asterisk (*), partially conserved and semi-conserved substitutions are represented by “:” and “.“, respectively. Putative signal peptides are highlighted in beige, the ELR motif is boxed in blue and the conserved CXC motif is highlighted in light green.
