How can you use “synteny” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
On the basis of the reconstructed ancestor, a total of 503 genes in 156 locations were lost in deletions within regions of synteny (Figure 7, top).
Thus, for example, when editing from the synteny view, the modification requests will be relayed to the AnnotationEditor.
Comparative genomics and more specialized fields such as comparative virology, etc., involve the comparison of DNA sequences, genes and genomes [ 12 13 14 ] . Recent rapid data acquisition is allowing the analyses of whole genome sequences, especially the smaller genomes such as mitochondria and chloroplasts [ 15 16 17 ] , as well as the larger bacterial genomes [ 18 19 ] and large tracts of eukaryotic chromosomes, especially from related organisms [ 12 13 14 20 21 22 23 ] . These studies include the determination of the order of genes, i.e., co-linearity [ 24 25 ] , the location of synteny [ 26 27 28 ] and the identification of clusters of orthologous genes [cog] between two genomes [ 21 22 23 ] . Along similar lines of thought, it should be extremely useful to locate, identify and catalog the sets of "core" genes common to these genomes-genomes which otherwise may be related or semi-related or unrelated in other respects.
Homologous chromosome arms in the genus Drosophila are referred to as Muller's elements, and represent a clearly established level of synteny between species [ 7].
Conservation of synteny is well documented in closely related species within the same family: for example, Arabidopsis and Brassica oleracea [ 6]; rice and barley [ 7]; and tomato, potato and capsicum [ 8, 9].
