Abstract excerpt
Comparative maps display the chromosomal location of homologous genes in different species and highlight genetic segments that are conserved in evolution. These maps are used to study chromosomal changes that occurred during the divergence of mammalian lineages, to identify candidates for hereditary disease genes, and to facilitate mapping in other species. Recently, physical mapping in regions of known conserved...
