Evolutionary rearrangements of X chromosomes in voles (Arvicolinae, Rodentia) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractEuchromatic segments of the X chromosomes of placental mammals are the most conservative elements of the karyotype, only rarely subjected to either inter- or intrachromosomal rearrangements. Here, using microdissection-derived set of region-specific probes of Terricola savii we detailed the evolutionary rearrangements found in X chromosomes in ...
