FIGURE 1-27 Conservation of synteny between human and mouse. Shown is a 510,000-base-pair (bp) segment of mouse chromosome 12 that shares common ancestry with a 600,000-bp section of human chromosome 14. Pink lines connect the reciprocal unique DNA sequences in the two genomes. Mb, 1 million base pairs.
