Abstract

The following decisions concerning the banded karyotype of the horse (Equus caballus) were made at the second International conference for Standardization of Domestic Animal Karyotypes, held at Jouy-en Josas, France, 22nd-26th May 1989: (1) numbering of the chromosomes was modified to correspond to an arrangement into only two groups (the non-acrocentrics and the acrocentrics) within which the autosomes are placed according to length alone; (2) a more compact karyotype arrangement was adopted: chromosomes 1 to 5 on the first row, 6 to 10 on the second, 11 to 13, and, at the far right, X and Y on the third row, 14 to 19 on the fourth row, chromosomes 20 to 25 on the fifth, and 26 to 31 on the sixth row; (3) the NOR-bearing horse chromosomes were identified as numbers 1, 28 and 31.
