What explains the conservation of gene order over large evolutionary distance?
Figure 2: Neurospora possesses few highly similar genes. Figure 1: Neurospora has a low proportion of genes in multigene families.
Figure 3: Example of lack of recent duplications in a Neurospora gene family (MFS sugar transporters).
Figure 4: Correspondence between predicted RIP, methylation and repetitive DNA.
