Abstract:
The extent and distribution of conserved chromosomal segments between pig and cattle chromosomes were established using hybridization of porcine chromosome painting probes on bovine metaphases. A total of 44 segments of conserved synteny were identified, resulting in a nearly complete coverage of the bovine karyotype. This study provides new data on chromosome evolution of mammals.
