Karyotype evolution in birds: From conventional staining to chromosome painting
In the last few decades, there have been great efforts to reconstruct the phylogeny of
Neoaves based mainly on DNA sequencing. Despite the importance of karyotype data in …

Microchromosomes are building blocks of bird, reptile, and mammal chromosomes
Microchromosomes, once considered unimportant shreds of the chicken genome, are gene-
rich elements with a high GC content and few transposable elements. Their origin has been …

A bird's-eye view of chromosomic evolution in the class Aves
Birds (Aves) are the most speciose of terrestrial vertebrates, displaying Class-specific
characteristics yet incredible external phenotypic diversity. Critical to agriculture and as …

Chromosome-level assembly reveals extensive rearrangement in saker falcon and budgerigar, but not ostrich, genomes
Background The number of de novo genome sequence assemblies is increasing
exponentially; however, relatively few contain one scaffold/contig per chromosome. Such …

Patterns of microchromosome organization remain highly conserved throughout avian evolution
The structure and organization of a species genome at a karyotypic level, and in interphase
nuclei, have broad functional significance. Although regular sized chromosomes are studied …

Conserved sex chromosomes and karyotype evolution in monitor lizards (Varanidae)
Despite their long history with the basal split dating back to the Eocene, all species of
monitor lizards (family Varanidae) studied so far share the same chromosome number of 2 …

Interstitial telomeric motifs in squamate reptiles: When the exceptions outnumber the rule
Telomeres are nucleoprotein complexes protecting the physical ends of linear eukaryotic
chromosomes and therefore helping to ensure their stability and integrity. Additionally …
