Figure 1. Representation of how homologous synteny blocks (HSBs) and evolutionary breakpoint regions (EBRs) are defined in the human genome.

Figure 1

Comparing two genomes at a time, we established pair-wise EBRs. Then, we merged those EBRs that overlap in the same human region, obtaining merged EBRs and HSBs. Abbreviations –PTR: Pan troglodytes, ECA: Equus caballus, MDO: Monodelphis domestica, HSA: Homo sapiens.
