CYNTENATOR: progressive gene order alignment of 17 vertebrate genomes.

Whole genome gene order evolution in higher eukaryotes was initially considered as a random process. Gene order conservation or conserved synteny was seen as a feature of common descent and did not imply the existence of functional constraints. This view had to be revised in the light of results fro...
