Gene loci in GGA28, GGA11, and homologous human regions
Click on table to view larger version.
aSee Supplemental Methods and Supplemental Table S1 for definitions of orthologs, paralogs, and novel genes, and for criteria used to determine rearrangement sites inside major synteny blocks. One GGA11 locus homologous to both HSA19 and HSA16 is tallied for both chromosomes but only once in totals.
bTotal gene counts for HSA19 and HSA16 homology regions equivalent to GGA28 and GGA11 include all known protein-coding RefSeq genes from those regions, plus any hypothetical loci validated by the presence of a chicken ortholog; see Supplemental Table S5 for details.
cExcludes 4 human loci “missing” from chicken that fall near scaffold gaps in partially ordered and oriented sequence.
