The evolutionary history of chromosomes can be tracked by the comparative hybridization of
large panels of bacterial artificial chromosome clones. This approach has disclosed an …

The past decade has witnessed an explosion of genome sequencing and mapping in
evolutionary diverse species. While full genome sequencing of mammals is rapidly …

We report a high-quality draft sequence of the genome of the horse (Equus caballus). The
genome is relatively repetitive but has little segmental duplication. Chromosomes appear to …

Horses, asses, and zebras belong to a single genus, Equus, which emerged 4.0–4.5 Mya.
Although the equine fossil record represents a textbook example of evolution, the …

Equine Behavior: A guide for Veterinarians and Equine Scientists is the quintessential
reference for all who really want to know what makes horses tick. Research in horse …

The dynamic onset of DNA fragmentation in mammalian sperm populations varies widely in
different species when the spermatozoa are incubated in vitro at body temperature for …

Although chromosome rearrangements (CRs) are central to studies of genome evolution,
our understanding of the evolutionary consequences of the early stages of karyotypic …

The evolution of perissodactyls (rhinoceroses, tapirs, and horses) has been well studied
primarily because of their extensive fossil record. Nevertheless, controversy persists …

Centromeres are epigenetically specified by the histone H3 variant CENP-A and typically
associated with highly repetitive satellite DNA. We previously discovered natural satellite …

Background Recent advances in comparative genomics have considerably improved our
knowledge of the evolution of mammalian karyotype architecture. One of the breakthroughs …
