Synteny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Students of Genetics employ the term synteny to describe the situation in which two genetic loci have been assigned to the same chromosome but still may be separated by a large enough distance in map ...

Britannica online encyclopedia article on synteny (genetics), Genomic sequencing and mapping have enabled comparison of the general structures of genomes of many different species. The general finding is that organisms of relatively recent divergence show similar blocks of genes in the same relative positions in the genome.

The synteny map shows regions of conserved synteny for human chromosome 22 and mouse. It integrates data from the Chromosome 22 mapping and sequencing database (viewed via webace), and the Mouse Genome Database (MGD) at The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine.

For example, the diagram illustrates the synteny between humans and cats of five genes on the X chromosome (rev). ... Synteny should be highly useful for biotechnological applications. Knowing a little about the linkage of a desirable trait in an economically important, but not well studied, organism, allows the investigator...

The suitability of the Fugu genome to facilitate the identification of candidate human disease genes using comparative positional cloning is dependent upon the extent to which synteny and gene order are conserved between the two species.
