Comparative genomic organization. The genomic neighborhoods of the human and fugu RD genes are compared and contrasted, highlighting synteny conservation (same color between the two species) and gene loss (green features). Feature widths represent rough gene size but are not exactly proportional to gene lengths; likewise intergenic distances are not meant to be precise. Arcs indicate larger genomic distances with one or more intervening genes (not displayed). The numbers associated with the arcs represent the distance in Mb.
