Syntenic depth refers to the number of times a genomic region (or genome) is syntenic to regions in another genome.

Tools in CoGe for classifying and quantitating syntenic depth:

Examples:

Organism Syntenic Depth
Dotpot
E. coli DH10B to MG1655
1:1

Human-Chimp 1:1
Rice-Brachypodium
2:2

Sorghum-Maize 2:4

Syntenic Depth Tables

SynFind Syntenic Depth Examples

These tables show the number of gene participating at a particular syntenic depth and are used to infer the number of polyploidy events between two genomes.
