+Deeply conserved synteny resolves early events in vertebrate evolution.

+[[!pmid 32313176 desc="Most of the 19 amphioxus (lancelet) chromosomes directly correspond to one of the 17 ancestral chordate linkage groups. Pattern of paralogue elimination show that autotetraploidy was followed by allotetraploidy in bony vertebrates."]]
distribution follows a power law and explain it with a model that requires
breakpoints to be in open regions (ENCODE) interacting with each other (Hi-C).
-The ancestral chordate has 17 chromosomes according to [[Putnam and coll, 2008|biblio/18563158]].
