The gene cluster is close to the telomere
15 kb Sad1 probe
Where synteny breaks down…
• Rapidly evolving regions of genomes
• Conserved motifs shared by co-regulated
genes
• Determining the sequence of evolution of
members of multigene families
• Determining the sequence of evolution of
combinations of genes
Wish list
• Reliable ORF designations; reliable sequence
information
• Sceptical of text annotation – prefer using a
set of “probe” sequences or Pfam domains
• Positional information – Genomic context
• Searchable gene expression data
(Genevestigator-like)
• Recombination frequencies
• Degree of divergence across
