| [analysis of genetic variation in unisexual and bisexual lizard species of the genus leiolepis from southeast asia]. | using multilocus dna fingerprinting with microsatellite probes (cac)5, (gaca)4, (ggca)4 and (gata)4, intraspecific variation of the southeast asian lizards belonging to the genus leiolepis (bisexual species leiolepis reevesii and triploid parthenogenetic species leiolepis guentherpetersi) was first examined. the l. guentherpetersi lizards were characterized by monophyletic dna fingerprint profiles for the loci detected by the (gaca)4, (ggca)4, and (cac)5 probes, in terms of intrapopulation simil ... | 2006 | 16808237 |
| karyological characterization of the butterfly lizard (leiolepis reevesii rubritaeniata, agamidae, squamata) by molecular cytogenetic approach. | karyological characterization of the butterfly lizard (leiolepis reevesii rubritaeniata) was performed by conventional giemsa staining, ag-nor banding, fish with the 18s-28s and 5s rrna genes and telomeric (ttaggg)n sequences, and cgh. the karyotype was composed of 2 distinct components, macrochromosomes and microchromosomes, and the chromosomal constitution was 2n = 2x = 36 (l(4)(m) + l(2)(sm) + m(2)(m) + s(4)(m) + 24 microchromosomes). nors and the 18s-28s rrna genes were located at the second ... | 2009 | 19738381 |
| karyotypic evolution in squamate reptiles: comparative gene mapping revealed highly conserved linkage homology between the butterfly lizard (leiolepis reevesii rubritaeniata, agamidae, lacertilia) and the japanese four-striped rat snake (elaphe quadrivirgata, colubridae, serpentes). | the butterfly lizard (leiolepis reevesii rubritaeniata) has the diploid chromosome number of 2n = 36, comprising two distinctive components, macrochromosomes and microchromosomes. to clarify the conserved linkage homology between lizard and snake chromosomes and to delineate the process of karyotypic evolution in squamata, we constructed a cytogenetic map of l. reevesii rubritaeniata with 54 functional genes and compared it with that of the japanese four-striped rat snake (e. quadrivirgata, 2n = ... | 2009 | 19937109 |
| karyotype reorganization in the hokou gecko (gekko hokouensis, gekkonidae): the process of microchromosome disappearance in gekkota. | the hokou gecko (gekko hokouensis: gekkonidae, gekkota, squamata) has the chromosome number 2n = 38, with no microchromosomes. for molecular cytogenetic characterization of the gekkotan karyotype, we constructed a cytogenetic map for g. hokouensis, which retains the ancestral karyotype of gekkota, with 86 functional genes, and compared it with cytogenetic maps for four toxicofera species that have many microchromosomes (elaphe quadrivirgata, varanus salvator macromaculatus, leiolepis reevesii ru ... | 2015 | 26241471 |
| identification of the linkage group of the z sex chromosomes of the sand lizard (lacerta agilis, lacertidae) and elucidation of karyotype evolution in lacertid lizards. | the sand lizard (lacerta agilis, lacertidae) has a chromosome number of 2n = 38, with 17 pairs of acrocentric chromosomes, one pair of microchromosomes, a large acrocentric z chromosome, and a micro-w chromosome. to investigate the process of karyotype evolution in l. agilis, we performed chromosome banding and fluorescent in situ hybridization for gene mapping and constructed a cytogenetic map with 86 functional genes. chromosome banding revealed that the z chromosome is the fifth largest chrom ... | 2014 | 24840599 |
| karyotype evolution in monitor lizards: cross-species chromosome mapping of cdna reveals highly conserved synteny and gene order in the toxicofera clade. | the water monitor lizard (varanus salvator macromaculatus (vsa), platynota) has a chromosome number of 2n = 40: its karyotype consists of 16 macrochromosomes and 24 microchromosomes. to delineate the process of karyotype evolution in v. salvator macromaculatus, we constructed a cytogenetic map with 86 functional genes and compared it with those of the butterfly lizard (leiolepis reevesii rubritaeniata (lre); 2n = 36) and japanese four-striped rat snake (elaphe quadrivirgata (equ); 2n = 36), memb ... | 2013 | 24343421 |
| the complete mitochondrial genome of leiolepis reevesii (sauria, agamidae). | in this paper, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of leiolepis reevesii (sauria, agamidae), which is a circular molecule of 16,908 bp in size and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal rnas, 22 transfer rnas and a control region. the a+t content of overall base composition of h-strand is 59.8% (t: 25.1%, c: 27.5%, a: 34.7%, g: 12.7%). some short microsatellite-like repeat regions (polya and polyt) are scattered in the control region. all the results provide powerful data to fu ... | 2016 | 24708106 |
| phylogeography and population structure of the reevese's butterfly lizard (leiolepis reevesii) inferred from mitochondrial dna sequences. | butterfly lizards of the genus leiolepis (agamidae) are widely distributed in coastal regions of southeast asia and south china, with the reevese's butterfly lizard leiolepis reevesii having a most northerly distribution that ranges from vietnam to south china. to assess the genetic diversity within l. reevesii, and its population structure and evolutionary history, we sequenced 1004 bp of cytochrome b for 448 individuals collected from 28 localities covering almost the whole range of the lizard ... | 2010 | 20433932 |
