Synteny between Atlantic cod and selected teleosts. The co-occurrence of orthologous genes (with a minimum of 50% sequence identity over 50% of the alignment) located on 23 Atlantic cod linkage groups8 reveals synteny with the chromosomes of four teleosts. Multiple genes located on the stickleback XIV, tetraodon 4 and medaka 12 chromosomes indicate a lineage-specific chromosomal rearrangement in Atlantic cod.
