diverged 24.9 +/- 2.88 My ago, based on the assumption that D. picticornis and
D. silvestris diverged 5.1 My ago.
+Variations of the gene order in the chromosome 3 of _D. Pseudoobscura_ were
+reported by [[Dobzhansky and Sturtevant|biblio/17246876]] in 1938, who could
+describe them as a network of successive large-scale inversions. They also
+showed that the gene order of the X2 chromosome of _D. miranda_ is homologoues
+to the one of the hypothetical ancestor of chromosome 3 in _D. Pseudoobscura_.

The ITS2 sequence of Drosophila species diverged at the speed of 1.2 % per million
year ([[Schlötterer and coll., 1994|biblio/8015444]]).

~1100 small-scale inversions are estimated to have happened between _S.
-cerevisiae_ and _C. albicans_ ([[|biblio/11087826]]). The authors propose that

“successive multigene inversions” have “distrupted” the “precise arrangement”
of “genes that are adjacent in one species are in the same neighborhood”. A
“bias toward small inversions” is reported.
+A collection of gene arrangements where each pair is related is related by a
+single large-scale inversion was found by [[Dobzhansky and
+Sturtevant|biblio/17246876]] in _D. pseudoobscura_.
