(Phys.org)—A team of researchers from South Korea, the U.K. and the U.S. has used computational methods to follow chromosomal rearrangements in seven genomes. In their paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the group describes the two-step process they followed that allowed them to better understand changes to chromosomal arrangement in certain mammals over time.
