Comparative Mapping and Conserved Synteny

Comparisons of zebrafish and mammalian gene maps have revealed extensive conservation of syntenic relationships among vertebrates (Postlethwait and Talbot 1997; Postlethwait et al. 1998; Amores et al. 1998; Gates et al. 1999, Woods et al. 2000). Conserved chromosomal segments identified in these studies are shown in the maps, table and figures below. Mammalian counterparts for all zebrafish chromosomes have been identified, and additional gene mapping studies will determine the extent to which gene order is maintained within conserved segments.
