    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    The Turkmenian kulan (Equus hemionus kulan) exhibits chromosome number variations due to fusion, differing from the onager (Equus hemionus onager). This genetic rearrangement is inherited and observed in unrelated individuals.

    Area of Science:

    • Cytogenetics
    • Mammalian Genetics
    • Wildlife Biology

    Background:

    • The Turkmenian kulan (Equus hemionus kulan) is a subspecies of wild ass.
    • Understanding the karyotype of E. hemionus kulan is crucial for conservation genetics.
    • Previous cytogenetic data for this subspecies were limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To conduct the first cytogenetic analysis of the Turkmenian kulan.
    • To describe the diploid chromosome number and identify karyotype variations.
    • To investigate the mechanisms behind observed chromosomal alterations.

    Main Methods:

    • Karyotyping of Equus hemionus kulan specimens.
    • Comparative chromosome analysis with Equus hemionus onager.
    • Identification of specific chromosomal rearrangements, such as fusion.

    Main Results:

    • The first cytogenetic data for the Turkmenian kulan are presented.
    • A polymorphism in diploid chromosome number (2n = 55, 54) was identified in E. hemionus kulan.
    • Chromosome fusion was identified as the mechanism altering the karyotype compared to E. hemionus onager (2n = 56).
    • The fusion event was observed in unrelated individuals and shown to be heritable.

    Conclusions:

    • Chromosome fusion is responsible for karyotype variation in the Turkmenian kulan.
    • The observed chromosomal polymorphism is a significant finding for the species' genetic understanding.
    • Heritability of fusion chromosomes suggests a stable genetic trait within the population.
