Synteny (a neologism meaning "on the same ribbon"; Greek: σύν, syn = along with + ταινία, tainiā = band) denotes the occurrence of two or more genetic loci on the same chromosome. All genetic loci on one chromosome are said to be syntenic. Loci may appear to be unlinked by conventional genetic tests for linkage, but still be syntenic.
