Conservation of gene order and orlentation between human and Fugu
| Human pairs classificationa | Consecutive pairs in humanb | Pairs with human-Fugu linkagec | Percent conserved pairsd |
|---|---|---|---|
| Antisense | 236 | 55 | 23.3% |
| Same-strand | 1257 | 170 | 13.5% |
| Total | 2737 | 453 | 16.3% |
a
Classification of groups of gene-pairs. Antisense, pairs for which a sense-antisense relationship was observed in human cDNAs and ESTs. Same-strand, pairs of consecutive genes that are on the same strand and are therefore unable to possess sense-antisense relationship.
b
Pairs of human genes that are consecutive on the human genome and have orthologs in the Fugu genome.
c
Pairs of consecutive orthologous genes that preserved their gene order and orientation in human and Fugu.
d
Percentage of linked pairs.
