Figure 5.
Syntenic chromosome correspondence between the chicken and gnathostome ancestor chromosomes. In the table, the number in a cell indicates the number of orthologous genes in syntenic regions (see Supplemental materials) between the chicken chromosome in the column and the reconstructed gnathostome proto-chromosome in the row. To emphasize chicken chromosomes that were primarily derived from a single ancestral gnathostome chromosome, cells with the maximum number of orthologs are colored yellow or red. In particular, red cells imply chicken chromosomes that have one-to-one correspondence to their ancestral gnathostome chromosomes.
