collinear

Segmentally duplicated genes were identified in collinear segments, which contain at least two collinear gene pairs that were not separated by more than two non-collinear genes.

If they’re small, you can cultivate the soil, skimming below the surface with a collinear hoe or scuffle hoe to expose weed roots.

Homeologous regions in the Atlantic salmon genome subdivided into 98 collinear blocks along the 29 European Atlantic salmon chromosomes.

For quite a while I keep it that way, cultivating just the top inch or so of the soil with a narrow collinear hoe or an even narrower wire weeder.

The number of collinear blocks is a proxy for the number of rearrangements and decreases as the size of the blocks becomes larger.
