Genetic variability among and within domestic Old and New World Camels at the α-lactalbumin gene (LALBA) reveals new alleles and polymorphisms responsible for differential expression

<p><strong>Supplementary Figure 1</strong>. Schematic representation of the <em>LALBA</em> gene in camelids. Boxes indicate the exons (black for the un-translated, white for the signal peptide and grey for the translated). The line shows introns, 5&rsquo;- and 3&rsquo;-flanking regions.</p> <p><strong>Supplementary Figure 2</strong><strong>. </strong>Alignment of the &alpha;-LA calcium-binding site (red rectangle) of 23 terrestrial species available in the UniProt database (<a href="http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/">http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/</a>). The calcium-binding site in the <em>Camelus dromedarius</em> is indicated by a yellow rectangle.</p>
