The finished columns show rearrangements within the 96.3 megabases of mouse sequence that were finished in this assembly. The genome columns refer to the entire 2.47-gigabase mouse assembly. A move or inversion involves no duplicated sequence. “Duplication” means at least 80% of the aligning bases of the rearranged chain align to multiple places in the human genome. “Part duplication” means some sequence, but <80% is duplicated. The moves and duplications of <100,000 bases are considered local. Syntenic moves and duplications are on the same chromosome but >100,000 bases away and may be inverted as well. Nonsyntenic moves and duplications fill gaps in a chain with sequence from another chromosome. The “single gaps ≥100” row shows gaps of 100 or more bases in mouse and 0 bases in human. The “double gaps ≥ 100” row shows gaps of 100 or more in mouse and >0 bases in human. The “h likely deletion ≥100” row counts gaps in the mouse genome that are not the result of human lineage-specific transposons or Ns, and that are at least 100 bases.
