Sheep (Ovis aries) TRA locus on chromosome 7

The sheep (Ovis aries) TRA locus is on chromosome 7. The orientation of the locus is reverse (REV).
The sheep (Ovis aries) TRA/TRD locus spans 2882 kilobases (kb), from 10 kb upstream of the most 5' gene in the locus, TRAV1 (ORF), to 10 kb downstream of the most 3' gene in the locus, TRAC (F). The Locus representation encompasses 2950 kb including the the 3' borne DAD1.
The sheep (Ovis aries) TRA locus consists of 277 (+ 16 non localized) TRAV genes belonging to 39 TRAV subgroups, 79 (+ 1 non localized) TRAJ genes and 1 TRAC gene.
The TRAV genes span 2051 kilobases (kb), the TRAJ genes span 94 kilobases (kb) and the TRAC gene spans 17 kilobases (kb).

DAD1 (3' borne) has been identified 12 kb downstream of TRAC, the most 3' gene in the locus.
