Extended Data Fig. 5: Chicken-spotted gar orthologs and paralogs.
From: Deeply conserved synteny resolves early events in vertebrate evolution
“Oxford’ dotpot between chicken (Gallus gallus, GGA) and spotted gar (Lepisosteus oculatus, LOC). Dots in the lower left corner represent mutual best hits between chicken and spotted gar, showing the clear orthologous blocks conserved synteny that allows chicken and spotted gar chromosome segments to be placed in correspondence with each other. Upper left and lower right show intra-genomic non-self best hits that identify paralogous regions within the chicken and spotted gar genome, respectively. Paralogous chromosomal regions share the same chordate linkage group ancestry, but arose through duplication.
