Zoo-FISH with human whole-chromosome paint probes delineated syntenic association of homologous chromosome segments 3-21, 14-15, 16-19, 4-8, 7-16 and 12-22 (twice) in the European mole (<i>Talpa europaea,</i> Talpidae, Eulipotyphla, Mammalia). These segment associations represent shared ancestral Boreo-Eutherian traits, half which were previously not described for Eulipotyphla. The karyotype acquired a minimum 19 translocations six inversions compared to presumed ancestor.
We report on the cytogenetics of twin offspring from an interspecies cross in marmosets (Callitrichinae, Platyrrhini), resulting a pairing between female Common marmoset (<i>Callithrix jacchus</i>, 2n = 46) and male Pygmy (<i>Cebuella pygmaea</i>, 44). analyzed their karyotypes by multi-directional chromosome painting employing human, <i>Saguinus oedipus</i> <i>Lagothrix lagothricha</i> chromosome-specific probes. Both hybrid individuals had...
This work presents chromosome homology maps between <i>Mus musculus</i> (MMU) and 2 South American rodent species from the Cricetidae group: <i>Necromys lasiurus</i> (NLA, 2n = 34) <i>Thaptomys nigrita</i> (TNI, 52), established by ZOO-FISH using mouse chromosome-specific painting probes. Extending previous molecular cytogenetic studies in Neotropical rodents, purpose of this was to delineate evolutionary chromosomal rearrangements rodents reconstruct...
