Macro synteny between mouse lemur and human chromosomes. Broad regions of synteny were identified between 33 M. murinus chromosomes (left) and 23 human chromosomes (right) using MUMmer software and these regions are shown using ribbons colored according to M. murinus chromosome number. Putative identifications for the 33 M. murinus chromosomes were based on comparative cytogenetic data [29] (see Results; Additional file 2: Tables S6 and S7; Additional file 4: Figure S3). Ticks in each chromosome indicate lengths of 10 Mb. Mouse lemur photo courtesy of David Haring and the Duke Lemur Center
