Gene-interleaving patterns of synteny in the <it>Saccharomyces cerevisiae </it>genome: are they proof of an ancient genome duplication event?

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Recent comparative genomic studies claim local syntenic gene-interleaving relationships in <it>Ashbya gossypii </it>and <it>Kluyveromyces waltii </it>are compelling evidence for an ancient whole-genome duplica...
