In genetics, the term synteny refers to two related concepts: In classical genetics, synteny describes the physical co-localization of genetic loci on...

genomics, synteny is the preserved order of genes on chromosomes of related species indicating their descent from a common ancestor. Synteny provides a...

micro-chromosomes, that represent only 12% of the genome, contain 43.5% of GC content. Synteny analysis between the Indian cobra and the prairie rattlesnake genome revealed...

such as macaques, and the great apes. According to a study that mapped synteny (genes occurring on the same chromosome) disruptions in the gibbon and...

years ago. Studies so far have shown the sequence and the gene order (synteny) are more similar between human and elephant shark genomes than between...
