Characteristics of the datasets based on the UCSC alignments, and the obtained reconstructed boreoeutherian ancestral genome architectures with our method.

The “Markers” column describes the number of synteny blocks of each dataset. The “Adjacencies” columns describes the number of adjacencies in the ancestral genome architecture. In the right-most column, a set of numbers linked by - indicate a CAR that contains markers that belong to the corresponding human genomes. The “human coverage” is the portion of the human genome that is covered by sets of markers that are consecutive on a CAR and on the human genome, although possibly in different orders, expressed in Mb.
