Abstract excerpt
MOTIVATION: We study the largely unaligned regions between the syntenic blocks conserved in humans and mice, based on data extracted from the UCSC genome browser. These regions contain evolutionary breakpoints caused by inversion, translocation and other processes. RESULTS: We suggest explanations for the limited amount of genomic alignment in the neighbourhoods of breakpoints. We discount inferences of extensive...
