Background: Knowledge of the amount of gene order and synteny conservation between two species gives insights to the extent and mechanisms of divergence. The vertebrate __Fugu rubripes__ (pufferfish) has a small genome with little repetitive sequence which makes it attractive as a model genome. Geno
## Abstract LINE‐1 and Alu elements are non‐LTR retrotransposons, constituting together over 30% of the human genome and they are frequently hypomethylated in human tumors. A relationship between global hypomethylation and genomic instability has been shown, however, there is little evidence to sug
