Structural genomics of vertebrates

We will now focus on the specific questions mentioned at the beginning of this chapter, namely whether the selection and the neutral theories can account for our results on the structural and evolutionary genomics of vertebrates, or, failing that, whether they can, at least, be reconciled with our results. 

At this point, it should be stressed that while the classical selection and the neutral theories cannot account for our findings, they are compatible with them, as it will be shown in the following Chapter 2.

Our main conclusions on the structural genomics of vertebrates can be summarized as follows (see Table 12.1).
