Integrated maps in quail (<it>Coturnix japonica</it>) confirm the high degree of synteny conservation with chicken (<it>Gallus gallus</it>) despite 35 million years of divergence

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>By comparing the quail genome with that of chicken, chromosome rearrangements that have occurred in these two galliform species over 35 million years of evolution can be detected. From a more practical point of view, the definition o...
