Human-chimp synteny

Syntenic dotplot of human (x-axis) versus chimp (y-axis). Results can be regenerated at http://genomevolution.org/CoGe/SynMap.pl?dsgid1=7029;dsgid2=7071;c=4;D=20;g=10;A=5;Dm=;gm=;w=0;b=1;ft1=1;ft2=1;do1=1;do2=1;do=40;dt=geneorder .

Whole genome syntenic comparison of human and chimp reveal that overall, the genomes are nearly identical in structure. However, there are 5 large-scale inversions and one chromosome fusion/fission.
