Comparison of the Chromosome Structures between the Chicken and Three Anserid Species, the Domestic Duck (Anas platyrhynchos), Muscovy Duck (Cairina moschata), and Chinese Goose (Anser cygnoides), and the Delineation of their Karyotype Evolution by Comparative Chromosome Mapping

To better understand the process of karyotype evolution in Galloanserae (Galliformes and Anseriformes), we performed comparative chromosome painting with chicken chromosome-specific DNA probes and FISH mapping of the 18S-28S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, telomeric (TTAGGG)n repeats, and cDNA clones of...
