[Genome] Segment duplication on zebrafish chr 16?

[Vince Tropepe]

Hi,

We are in the process of mapping a mutation in zebrafish. We though  
we had mapped the mutation to chr 16 matching contig BX255877.14.  
However, upon closer inspection it seems that some of the genes on  
this contig (e.g. BC092825, BC076364, BC096802) are predicted to also  
be present on contig CU104697.5, based on sequence comparisons with  
the chained tBLASTn  and zebrafish refseq genes.

This is the interval I am focusing on: chr16:5,740,301-6,199,660  
(zebrafish danRer5 July 2007 assembly).

My question is whether there is a real segment duplication in this  
region.

Thanks for your help!
