- Duplication mode III. Chromosome segment duplicationsearch for term
Here a few genes to a whole chromosome are duplicated as a segment, which begins the fractionation process. The retained, segmentally duplicated genes are called syntenic paralogs. The word homeolog is usually reserved for syntenic paralogs of polyploid origin. (Freeling 2009)
