Summary:
Current approaches detect conserved genomic order either at chromosomal (macro-synteny) or at subchromosomal scales (microsynteny). The latter generally requires collinearity and hard thresholds on syntenic region size, thus excluding a major proportion of syntenies with recent expansions or minor rearrangements. “SYNPHONI” bridges the gap between micro- and macro-synteny detection, providing detailed information on both synteny conservation and transformation throughout the evolutionary history of animal genomes.
