Silver fox gene mapping: conserved chromosome regions in the order Carnivora

N Rubtsov et al. Cytogenet Cell Genet. 1988.

Abstract

Twenty-three silver fox x hamster somatic cell hybrid clones were used to assign 15 fox genes: GPI to chromosome 1; PGD to chromosome 2; MDH2 to chromosome 3; ESD to chromosome 6; LDHB to chromosome 8; NP to chromosome 10; LDHA to chromosome 11; APRT, ENO1, and PGM1 to chromosome 12; IDH1 and MDH1 to chromosome 16; and GLA, G6PD, and HPRT to the X chromosome. High-resolution G-banding of human, cat, mink, and fox chromosomes containing homologous regions (according to genetic maps) revealed regions of putative homology. The results lend support to the suggestion that the most considerable karyotypic reorganization of the ancestral genome in the order Carnivora occurred during Canidae formation. The details of karyotypic evolution in mammals are discussed.
