| Abstract: | Background Gene loss, inversions, translocations, and other chromosomal rearrangements vary among species, resulting in different rates
of structural genome evolution. Major chromosomal rearrangements are rare in most eukaryotes, giving large regions with the
same genes in the same order and orientation across species. These regions of macrosynteny have been very useful for locating
homologous genes in different species and to guide the assembly of genome sequences. Previous analyses in the fungi have indicated
that macrosynteny is rare; instead, comparisons across species show no synteny or only microsyntenic regions encompassing
usually five or fewer genes. To test the hypothesis that chromosomal evolution is different in the fungi compared to other
eukaryotes, synteny was compared between species of the major fungal taxa. |
