| karyotype evolution and phylogenetic relationships of cricetulus sokolovi orlov et malygin 1988 (cricetidae, rodentia) inferred from chromosomal painting and molecular data. | sokolov's dwarf hamster (cricetulus sokolovi) is the least studied representative of the striped hamsters (cricetulus barabensis species group), the taxonomy of which remains controversial. the species was described based on chromosome morphology, but neither the details of the karyotype nor the phylogenetic relationships with other cricetulus are known. in the present study, the karyotype of c. sokolovi was examined using cross-species chromosome painting. molecular and cytogenetic data were em ... | 2017 | 28719894 |
