Comparative karyotype of pig and cattle using whole chromosome painting probes.
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.
