Gene synteny comparisons between different vertebrates provide new insights into breakage and fusion events during mammalian karyotype evolution

Gene synteny comparisons between different vertebrates provide new insights into breakage and fusion events during mammalian karyotype evolution

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Genome comparisons have made possible the reconstruction of the eutherian ancestral karyotype but also have the potential to provide new insights into the evolutionary inter-relationship of the different eutherian orders within the m...
