Results: Our analysis revealed pericentric inversion as the main rearrangement involved in the karyotype evolution of the group, although tandem fusions...

... in the diploid chromosome numbers among species, ranging from 6 to 70. Chromosomal rearrangements in Cervidae have been studied in detail by chromosome painting. There are many comparative cytogenetic data for both subfamilies (Cervinae and Capreolinae) based on homologies with chromosomes of cattle and Chinese...

... stained with chromomycin A 3. The karyotype analysis and the application of whole-chromosome painting in populations of M. oligolepis reinforce the conservation of the basal diploid number for the genus, as well as the evolutionary tendency in these fishes to carry B chromosomes. Both populations turned...

(2003). 4. de Oliveira EHC, Tagliarini MM, Rissino JD, Pieczarka JC, Nagamachi CY, et al: Reciprocal chromosome painting between white hawk ( Leucopternis albicollis ) and chicken reveals extensive fusions and fissions during karyotype evolution of Accipitridae (Aves, Falconiformes). Chromosome Res...

... of chromosome 5. Chromosome painting with the B probes based on FISH revealed a homologous composition for all B chromosome morphotypes and no homology with the chromosomes in the A complement. B chromosomes found in this population may have a common origin and subsequently diversified in size and morphology...

... was examined using cross-species chromosome painting. Molecular and cytogenetic data were employed to determine the phylogenetic position of Sokolov's hamster and to analyze the potential pathways of chromosome evolution in Cricetulus . Both the chromosome and molecular data support the species status...

... et al., 2009; Rovatsos et al., 2014]. A detailed analysis by molecular cytogenetics was required in order to better characterize this polymorphism. Here, we present the analysis of most of the sex chromosome variants described in M. thomasi / M. atticus based on comparative chromosome painting...

... of 5S and 45S rDNA were kindly provided by K. Arumuganthan, University of Nebraska. The 5S and 45S rDNA were labeled with digoxigenin-dUTP and biotin-dUTP via nick translation, respectively. For chromosome painting, the melon oligo libraries were synthesized by MYcroarray (Ann Arbor, MI, USA). Each...

..., few karyotypic data exist for endemic species. We utilized G- and C-banding in combination with chromosome painting with Myotismyotis probes to establish a genome-wide homology among Malagasy species belonging to the families Pteropodidae ( Pteropus rufus 2n = 38; Rousettus madagascariensis , 2n = 36...

... analyzed by comparative chromosome painting. Here, we studied the karyotype of a representative of baleen whales, the gray whale ( Eschrichtius robustus, Mysticeti), by Zoo-FISH with dromedary camel and human chromosome-specific probes. We confirmed a high degree of karyotype conservation and found...

... diploid chromosome number; some species exhibit a highly differentiated ZZ/ZW sex chromosome system, while others do not show any sex-related chromosome heteromorphism. In this study, chromosome painting using a W-specific probe and comparative chromosome mapping of repetitive sequences, including...

... for studying the process of karyotype evolution. Here, we present the first combined chromosome comparative maps between 2 Cricetidae species, Cricetus cricetus and Peromyscus eremicus , and the index species Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus . Comparative chromosome painting was done using mouse and rat...

... about their origin and evolution. To better understand the genomic composition and evolutionary processes involving B chromosomes, microdissection of B microchromosomes in Steindachnerina insculpta was conducted. Chromosome painting revealed the totally hybridized B and markings on A chromosomes both...

... used to perform chromosome painting in both species and in 3 further ones belonging to the same genus (P . argenteus, P . brevis and P . costatus) . Both probes hybridized with the B chromosomes in P. lineatus and P. nigricans , but with none of the chromosomes in the 5 species. This indicates...

... of this family. Here, whole chromosome painting, together with the cytogenetic mapping of repetitive DNAs, highlighted the evolutionary relationships of the sex chromosomes among different erythrinid species and genera. It was demonstrated that the sex chromosomes can follow distinct evolutionary pathways inside...

... from 2n = 36 to 2n = 50. In an attempt to shed more light on chromosome evolution and speciation in these rodents, we compared the karyotypes of 7 species, representing 3 genera, based on homology data revealed by chromosome painting with probes derived from flow-sorted chromosomes of the hairy footed...

...S.A. Romanenko; V.S. Lebedev; N.A. Serdukova; N.Y. Feoktistova; A.V. Surov; A.S. Graphodatsky Chromosome painting and G-banding analyses were used to delimit homologous chromosomal segments among 4 taxa of the hamsters genus Allocricetulus Argyropulo 1932 (Cricetidae, Murоidea, Rodentia...

... of molecular cytogenetic techniques has greatly advanced our understanding of the evolution of marsupial chromosomes and allowed the reconstruction of the ancestral marsupial karyotype. Chromosome painting and gene mapping have played a vital role in piecing together the puzzle of monotreme karyotypes...

... of Murphy et al. [2001], chromosome painting of Afrotherian species began, initially as an independent test of the validity of this superordinal clade. At that point there was still considerable skepticism about the validity of the molecular conclusion. Firstly, it was thought that it might be possible...

... of between-species rearrangements and classes of differentially staining chromosome material. The infusion of molecular methods into cytogenetics provided a third revolution, which is still not exhausted. Chromosome painting has provided a global view of the translocation history of mammalian genome...
