Synapsis and Meiotic Recombination in Male Chinese Muntjac (Muntiacus reevesi)
The muntjacs (Muntiacus, Cervidae) have been extensively studied in terms of chromosomal and karyotypic evolution. However, little is known about their meiotic chromosomes particularly the recombination patterns of homologous chromosomes. We used immunostained surface spreads to visualise synaptonemal complexes (SCs), recombination foci and kinetochores with antibodies against marker proteins. ...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci of the Chinese muntjac (Muntiacus reevesi).
Eight polymorphic microsatellite markers for Muntiacus reevesi were identified and characterized in this study. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 10 across 24-48 samples. The loci showed expected and observed heterozygosities of 0.577-0.876 and 0.387-0.933, respectively, with an average polymorphic information content value of 0.682. These markers should be a useful tool for furt...
متن کاملAssignment of the telomere-repeat binding factor genes TERF1 and TERF2 to Chinese muntjac (2n = 46) chromosome bands 12q3 and 2q33 by in situ hybridization.
The TERF1 and TERF2 genes encode the telomere-repeat binding factors TRF1 and TRF2 that play a key role in maintenance and protection of chromosome ends (de Lange, 2002). The genus Muntiacus is characterized by drastic chromosomal rearrangements such as tandem and centric fusions (Hsu et al., 1975; Shi et al., 1980). While some muntjac species display extremely low chromosome numbers (down to 2...
متن کاملInsight into gene evolution within Cervidae and Bovidae through genetic variation in MHC-DQA in the black muntjac (Muntiacus crinifrons).
The critical role that the major histocompatibility complex plays in the immune recognition of parasites and pathogens makes its evolutionary dynamics exceptionally relevant to ecology, population biology, and conservation studies. The black muntjac is a rare deer endemic to a small mountainous region in eastern China. We found that this species has two DQA loci through cDNA expression and...
متن کاملComplete mitochondrial genome of the leaf muntjac (Muntiacus putaoensis) and phylogenetics of the genus Muntiacus
The leaf muntjac (Muntiacus putaoensis) is an endemic deer species found in the east trans-Himalayan region. In recent years, population numbers have decreased due to heavy hunting and habitat loss, and little genetic data exists for this species, thus our knowledge of distribution rangs and population sizes likewise remain limited. We obtained mtDNA genes and the complete mitochondrial genome ...
