2) Now try searching with "Chromosome Evolution". Did you get fewer hits?

3) This time try Structural Dynamics Eukaryotic". Did you get similar hits to your first two queries?

4) Finally, search using the entire phrase "Structural Dynamics Eukaryotic Chromosome Evolution". You should get two hits. Clcik on the link for the paper by Eichler and Sankoff.
