The past decade has witnessed an explosion of genome sequencing and mapping in
evolutionary diverse species. While full genome sequencing of mammals is rapidly …

Rodentia is the most species-rich mammalian order and includes several important
laboratory model species. The amount of new information on karyotypic and phylogenetic …

Long-lived rodents have become an attractive model for the studies on aging. To understand
evolutionary paths to long life, we prepare chromosome-level genome assemblies of the two …

Background Ancestral reconstructions of mammalian genomes have revealed that
evolutionary breakpoint regions are clustered in regions that are more prone to break and …

Descriptions of karyotypes of many animal species are currently available. In addition, there
has been a significant increase in the number of sequenced genomes and an ever …

Understanding how mammalian genomes have been reshuffled through structural changes
is fundamental to the dynamics of its composition, evolutionary relationships between …

The invention of cross-species chromosome painting (ZOO-FISH) represents the most
significant technical breakthrough in animal cytogenetics since the introduction of …

The stone curlew, also known as thick-knee (Burhinus oedicnemus, BOE), represents a
phylogenetically young species of the shorebirds (Charadriiformes) that exhibits one of the …

Classical cytogenetics and mapping of 18S-28S rDNA and (TTAGGG) n sequences by
fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was performed on Graphiurus platyops (GPL) and …

The history of each human chromosome can be studied through comparative cytogenetic
approaches in mammals which permit the identification of human chromosomal homologies …
