SynteBase/SynteView: a tool to visualize gene order conservation in prokaryotic genomes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>It has been repeatedly observed that gene order is rapidly lost in prokaryotic genomes. However, persistent synteny blocks are found when comparing more or less distant species. These genes that remain consistently adjacent are appea...
