Sentence examples for minor chromosomes from inspiring English sources

Although lineage-specific genes identified on minor chromosomes could result from assembly issues, we identify hundreds on major chromosomal arms (Table 5), suggesting that many of these are in fact cases of lineage-specific gene formation.
