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

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 …

Progressive rod–cone degeneration (prcd) is a late-onset, autosomal recessive

The great karyotypic differences between camel, cattle and pig, three important domestic
animals, have been a challenge for comparative cytogenetic studies based on conventional …

In a Zoo-FISH study chicken autosomal chromosome paints 1 to 9 (GGA1–GGA9) were
hybridized to metaphase spreads of nine diverse birds belonging to primitive and modern …

Background B chromosomes are dispensable and variable karyotypic elements found in
some species of animals, plants and fungi. They often originate from duplications and …

Domestic cats and dogs are important companion animals and model animals in biomedical
research. The cat has a highly conserved karyotype, closely resembling the ancestral …

Genome-wide association studies provide good opportunities for studying the genetic basis
of adaptive traits in wild populations. Yet, previous studies often failed to identify major effect …

Background Most eukaryotic species represent stable karyotypes with a particular diploid
number. B chromosomes are additional to standard karyotypes and may vary in size …
