The loci of these genes are dispersed throughout the genomes of relevant oragnisms, though a few select cases of clustering exist. Tight linkages include Tbx8 and Tbx9 in ''C. elegans'', and in mice: Tbx2 and Tbx4 on chromosome 11; and | The loci of these genes are dispersed throughout the genomes of relevant oragnisms, though a few select cases of clustering exist. Tight linkages include Tbx8 and Tbx9 in ''C. elegans'', and in mice: Tbx2 and Tbx4 on chromosome 11; and [[TBX3]] and [[TBX5]] on chromosome 5. Similar linkages are present in humans. These genes include multiple exons, typically 8 (as in Tbx5). There are a few cases of alternative splicing, such as VegT in ''Xenopus'' and [[TBX1]] in humans. | ||
