The chromosome complements (karyotypes) of animals display a great diversity in number
and morphology. Against this background, the genomes of all species are remarkably …

The association between chromosomal abnormalities and reduced fertility in domestic
animals is well recorded and has been studied for decades. Chromosome aberrations …

Mutations in the ATM tumor suppressor gene confer hypersensitivity to DNA-damaging
chemotherapeutic agents. To explore genetic resistance mechanisms, we performed …

Genomic instability arising from defective responses to DNA damage or mitotic
chromosomal imbalances can lead to the sequestration of DNA in aberrant extranuclear …

Researchers have assembled thousands of eukaryotic genomes using Illumina reads, but
traditional mate‐pair libraries cannot span all repetitive elements, resulting in highly …

The role of chromosome rearrangements in driving evolution has been a long-standing
question of evolutionary biology. Here we focused on ruminants as a model to assess how …

Camel farming is gaining scientific interest due to its unique agricultural characteristics.
Camels are versatile for milk and meat production, wool, racing, transport, and tourism. To …

Background Genome assembly into chromosomes facilitates several analyses including
cytogenetics, genomics and phylogenetics. Despite rapid development in bioinformatics …

Camelids are characterized by their unique adaptive immune system that exhibits the
generation of homodimeric heavy‐chain immunoglobulins, somatic hypermutation of T‐cell …

The present review summarizes the basic cytogenetic information available pertaining to the
most important Bovidae species, namely cattle, buffalo, sheep and goat, with the aim of …
