Sequences of bovine Mx2 gene promoter region Compared to those of water buffalo Mx2 gene promoter region (accession number will be provided after final acceptance) displaying nucleotide substitutions encountered. Dot symbol means same as the bovine’s one. Boxes indicate the putative transcription and regulatory. Dashed boxes with arrows indicate the nucleotide sequences and the position of insertions in water buffalo Mx2 gene promoter region. Letters in small cases indicates sequences of intron 1
