+The caspase family in urochordates: distinct evolutionary fates in ascidians and larvaceans.

[[Ferrández-Roldán and coll., 2021|biblio/34789899]]).
- None of the genes encoding Bcl-2 proteins or their BH3-only ligands could be found
in _O. dioica_ [[Suraweera and coll., 2022|biblio/35409052]].
+ - Three caspases related to the CSP3/7 family were found by [[Weil and coll, 2005|biblio/15826240]].

In insects, the Osiris gene family shows conservation of synteny over ~400
million years ([[Sah and coll., 2012|biblio/22384409]]).
+Butterfly chromosome still have synteny with Muller elements ([[Ranz and coll,
+2022|biblio/35042416]]).

The indian munjac has only 3 chromosomes, which are the result of fusions in
the past ~5 My. The chinese munjak has undergone much less fusions. In most
cases, long-range chromosome structure (Hi-C) is not conserved between theses
