Synteny. Synteny between An. stephensi and An. gambiae based on 6,448 single-copy orthologs. Orthologs with the same orientation in An. stephensi and An. gambiae are connected with red lines and orthologs with the opposite orientation are connected with blue lines. Orthologous genes from An. stephensi and An. gambiae were retrieved from OrthoDB. The physical map was used to identify the relative locations of genes on the An. stephensi chromosomes. The relationship of the position between the An. stephensi and An. gambiae orthologs were plotted with GenoPlotR. 66 syntenic blocks were identified on the X chromosome. A total of 104 and 64 syntenic blocks were identified on 2R and 2L (3L in An. stephensi). A total of 104 and 42 syntenic blocks were identified on 3R and 3L (2L in An. stephensi). Therefore, the X chromosome has undergone the most rearrangements per megabase.
