There are many species that contain genes homologous to the COL1A1 gene found in humans. Several are used as model organisms in research, including zebrafish (Danio rerio), mice (Mus musculus) and rat (Rattus norvegicus). Below is a list containing those organisms as well as a few others along with their relevant accession numbers. Clicking on the accession number will link you to a page listing the relevant protein sequence in FASTA format.
