Comparison of gene order on the 12 k WG-RH map of BTA6 with the gene architecture on syntenic chromosomal regions of human, mouse, rat, chicken, and dog. For comparison of gene positions mapped on the BTA6 12 k WG-RH map with corresponding genome map positions on orthologous chromosomal regions of human, mouse, rat, chicken, and dog, gene mapping information was retrieved from the species genome sequence maps available at the NCBI mapviewer database [33]: human chromosome 4 (HSA4, NCBI build 35.1), mouse chromosomes 5, 6, and 3 (MMU5, 6, and 3; NCBI build 34.1), rat chromosomes 14, 2, and 4 (RNO14, 2, and 4; NCBI build 3.1), dog chromosomes 3, 13, and 32 (CFA3,13 and 32, NCBI build1.1), and chicken chromosome 4 (GGA4, NCBI build 1.1). Horizontal black lines on species sequence maps indicate positions of loci on the chromosomes, black blocks on the maps represent high gene density gene-covered intervals. Loci with close mapping positions are depicted in boxes. Distances of loci on sequence maps of human, mouse, rat, dog, and chicken are based on identical Mb scale. Distances on the BTA6 12 k WG-RH map developed in this report are given in cR. Different colored blocks and lines indicate regions of interchromosomal breaks observed between HSA4 and syntenic multi-species chromosomes. White blocks on GGA4 indicate chromosomal regions syntenic to other human chromosomes.
