This paper presents the first complete estimate of the phylogenetic relationships among all
197 species of extant and recently extinct ruminants combining morphological, ethological …

There are clear theoretical reasons and many well-documented examples which show that
repetitive DNA is essential for genome function. Generic repeated signals in the DNA are …

The family Cervidae includes 40 species of deer distributed throughout the northern
hemisphere, as well as in South America and Southeast Asia. Here, we examine the …

The gray brocket deer, Mazama gouazoubira, occurs in South America and presents an
extensive degree of morphological and genetic variability. Previous phylogenetic research …

Despite the biological and economic importance of the Cetartiodactyla, the phylogeny of this
clade remains controversial. Using the supertree approach of matrix representation with …

We have used a combination of chromosome sorting, degenerate oligonucleotide-primed
polymerase chain reaction (DOP-PCR), chromosome painting and digital image capturing …

The study of chromosome evolution is undergoing a resurgence of interest owing to
advances in DNA sequencing technology that facilitate the production of chromosome-scale …

Abstract Muntjac deer (Muntiacinae, Cervidae) are of great interest in evolutionary studies
because of their dramatic chromosome variations and recent discoveries of several new …

We present here the de novo genome assembly CerEla1. 0 for the red deer, Cervus
elaphus, an emblematic member of the natural megafauna of the Northern Hemisphere …

This article reports that recombination contributes significantly to the processes of DNA
