Conserved synteny in the sushi family of RDDGs. Chromosomal regions carrying all the RDDGs in the species considered in this analysis were compared, and neighbouring genes with conserved synteny were identified. Horizontal lines denote orthologous relationships. Each RDDG gene is represented in bold as a horizontal orange line on the chromosome. Neighbouring genes that are in synteny are shown with a schematic indication of their distance (not to scale). Ancestral states of the RDDG chromosomal positions were reconstructed from comparison of syntenic positions between multiple mammalian lineages.
