Available data on karyotypes of the mammals from Turkey and neighbouring regions (the
Balkans, the Caucasus, and the Middle East) were summarized and reviewed in respect of …

The blind mole rats (Spalacinae) reveal fascinating chromosomal variation, resulting from
complex karyotype re-arrangements. This variation occurs between species, between …

Mole rats (genus Nannospalax) display prolific chromosomal variation with more than 50
distinct cytotypes. These cytotypes are largely indistinguishable morphologically, are mainly …

We described the genetic variation of cytochrome b gene sequences of blind mole rats in
Turkey. We examined 47 individuals belonging to nine cytotypes of three superspecies …

Mole rats are exclusively subterranean and highly specialized rodents. Their long lifespans,
remarkable anti-cancer mechanisms, and various distinctive adaptive features make them a …

Simple Summary Due to adaptations to a completely subterranean lifestyle, blind mole rats
have become an interesting research model for longevity and cancer resistance. The lesser …

We examined the natural population structure of the Turkish hamster (Mesocricetus brandti)
by analysing partial mitochondrial sequences of the control region and the cytochrome b …

Genetic differences in 2 regions (D-loop and cytochrome b) of mitochondrial DNA in
Nannospalax xanthodon and Nannospalax ehrenbergi were determined using restriction …

One hundred and seventy-seven specimens of Spalax leucodon Nordmann, 1840 from 41
localities in Turkey were examined for their karyologicalfeatures. Nine karyotypic forms were …

In this study, to clear cytogenetic characteristics of 2n= 60 chromosome form of blind mole
rats Nannospalax xanthodon superspecies, we carried out conventional staining, Ag-NORs …
