| karyotype reorganization with conserved genomic compartmentalization in dot-shaped microchromosomes in the japanese mountain hawk-eagle (nisaetus nipalensis orientalis, accipitridae). | the karyotype of the japanese mountain hawk-eagle (nisaetus nipalensis orientalis) (2n = 66) consists of a large number of medium-sized and small chromosomes but only 4 pairs of dot-shaped microchromosomes, in contrast to the typical avian karyotype with a small number of macrochromosomes and many indistinguishable microchromosomes. to investigate the drastic karyotype reorganization in this species, we performed a molecular cytogenetic characterization employing chromosome in situ hybridization ... | 2013 | 23838459 |
