Figure 4

Comparison of linkage and synteny with C. elegans. The B. malayi contig is compared to an approximately 9 Mb segment of C. elegans chromosome I. The relative positions of the ortholog pairs, colored as in Figure 1, are indicated. The link between Bm-mif-1 and Ce-mif-3 (F13G3.9) is dashed to indicate that these two genes are paralogs rather than orthologs (see text for details).
