A schematic representing maize homologies inferred from grass comparative maps and the colinearity test. (light and dark gray arcs) Maize chromosomes as often represented in grass comparative maps (Devos and Gale 1997; Gale and Devos 1998a, 1998b; Moore et al. 1995b), with chromosome numbers given. (overlap between chromosomes) Homologies detected by comparative mapping and also by the colinearity test. (black arrows) Additional interchromosomal colinearities detected by the colinearity test.
