Exons are indicated as blue boxes, interspaced by introns shown as lines. Promoter and transcription termination sites are represented by green and yellow boxes, respectively. Protospacer adjacent motif is underlined and represented as white boxes. ATG and TGA represent start codon and stop codon, respectively.
