Unlocking holocentric chromosomes: new perspectives from comparative and functional genomics?

abstract：:The availability of complete human and other metazoan genome sequences has greatly facilitated positioning and analysis of various genomic functional elements, with initial emphasis on coding sequences. However, complete functional maps of sequenced eukaryotic genomes should include also positions of all non-coding re...
