Synteny aids in gene identification

Synteny of cereal species genomes

Long Description: The DNA sequences of different cereal species can be arranged as concentric circles. Homologous regions of the genome of each species are found along the radii of this circle.

The genomes of several grasses arranged so that regions carrying similar genes are aligned
