Intrachromosomal rearrangements in avian genome evolution: evidence for regions prone to breakpoints
It is generally believed that the organization of avian genomes remains highly conserved in evolution as chromosome number is constant and comparative chromosome painting demonstrated there to be very few interchromosomal rearrangements. The recent sequencing of the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) genome allowed an assessment of the number of intrachromosomal rearrangements between it and the chicken (Gallus gallus) genome, revealing a surprisingly high number of intrachromosomal rearrangements. With the publication of the turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) genome it has become possible to describe intrachromosomal rearrangements between these three important avian species, gain insight into the direction of evolutionary change and assess whether breakpoint regions are reused in birds. To this end, we aligned entire chromosomes between chicken, turkey and zebra finch, identifying syntenic blocks of at least 250 kb. Potential optimal pathways of rearrangements between each of the three genomes were determined, as was a potential Galliform ancestral organization. From this, our data suggest that around one-third of chromosomal breakpoint regions may recur during avian evolution, with 10% of breakpoints apparently recurring in different lineages. This agrees with our previous hypothesis that mechanisms of genome evolution are driven by hotspots of non-allelic homologous recombination. 相似文献

Comparative banding studies in eight species of the family Cercopithecidae, subfamily Cercopithecinae allowed us to identify
the chromosomes that have been conserved and those that have undergone structural changes. The results suggest that while
the ancestral karyotype of the Cercopithecini was probably similar to that ofCercopithecus aethiops, the ancestral complement of the cercopithecinae was probably of the type now found in the Papionini. Thus, after their divergence,
one of the groups maintained an extremely stable chromosomal complement (Papionini 2n=42) while the other underwent extreme
chromosomal rearrangements (Cercopithecini 2n=48–72). 相似文献

We used reciprocal chromosome painting with both African green monkey (C. aethiops) and human chromosome specific DNA probes to delineate homologous regions in the two species. Probes were derived by fluorescence-activated
chromosome flow sorting and then were reciprocally hybridized to metaphase spreads of each species. Segments in the size range
of a single chromosome band were identified, demonstrating the sensitivity of the approach when comparing species that diverged
more than 20 million years ago. Outgroup analysis shows that the great difference in diploid numbers between the African green
monkey (2n = 60) and humans (2n = 46) is mainly owing to fissions, and the direction of change is towards increasing diploid
numbers. However, most break points apparently lie outside of the centromere regions, suggesting that the changes were not
solely Robertsonian as has been previously assumed. No reciprocal translocations have occurred in the phylogenetic lines leading
to humans or African green monkeys. The primate paints established here are a valuable tool to establish interspecies homology,
to define rearrangements, and to determine the mechanisms of chromosomal evolution in primate species.

We have used human chromosome-specific painting probes forin situhybridization on Indian muntjac (Muntiacus muntjak vaginalis,2n= 6, 7) metaphase chromosomes to identify the homologous chromosome regions of the entire human chromosome set. Chromosome rearrangements that have been involved in the karyotype evolution of these two species belonging to different mammalian orders were reconstructed based on hybridization patterns. Although, compared to human chromosomes, the karyotype of the Indian muntjac seems to be highly rearranged, we could identify a limited number of highly conserved homologous chromosome regions for each of the human chromosome-specific probes. We identified 48 homologous autosomal chromosome segments, which is in the range of the numbers found in other artiodactyls and carnivores recently analyzed by chromosome painting. The results demonstrate that the reshuffling of the muntjac karyotype is mostly due to fusions of huge blocks of entire chromosomes. This is in accordance with previous chromosome painting analyses between various Muntjac species and contrasts the findings for some other mammals (e.g., gibbons, mice) that show exceptional chromosome reshuffling due to multiple reciprocal translocation events. 相似文献

Speculation has long surrounded the question of whether past exposure to ionizing radiation leaves a unique permanent signature in the genome. Intrachromosomal rearrangements or deletions are produced much more efficiently by densely ionizing radiation than by chemical mutagens, x-rays, or endogenous aging processes. Until recently, such stable intrachromosomal aberrations have been very hard to detect, but a new chromosome band painting technique has made their detection practical. We report the detection and quantification of stable intrachromosomal aberrations in lymphocytes of healthy former nuclear-weapons workers who were exposed to plutonium many years ago. Even many years after occupational exposure, more than half the blood cells of the healthy plutonium workers contain large (>6 Mb) intrachromosomal rearrangements. The yield of these aberrations was highly correlated with plutonium dose to the bone marrow. The control groups contained very few such intrachromosomal aberrations. Quantification of this large-scale chromosomal damage in human populations exposed many years earlier will lead to new insights into the mechanisms and risks of cytogenetic damage. 相似文献

We describe the banding patterns of the chromosomes of Cercopithecus pogonias(2n = 72) and Cercopithecus nictitans nictitans(2n = 70), the two species which exhibit the highest diploid numbers among the Cercopithecidae, using G-banding, C-banding,
and nucleolar organizing region (NOR)-staining techniques. The karyotypes of these two species show a large number of morphological
homologies, but several chromosome pairs cannot be matched. It is suggested that translocations and insertions may have been
important in the chromosomal evolution of this group. 相似文献

Human satellite DNAs I, II and IV were transcribed to yield radioactive complementary RNAs (cRNAs). These cRNAs were hybridised to metaphase chromosomes of man, chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) and orang utan (Pongo pygmaeus). The results of this in situ hybridisation were analysed quantitatively and compared with accepted chromosome homologies based on Giemsa banding patterns. The cRNA to satellite II (cRNAII) did not hybridise to chimpanzee chromosomes, although its hybridisation to chromosomes of gorilla and orang utan yielded more autoradiograph grains than hybridisation to human chromosomes, and cRNAIV hybridised to many chromosomes of gorilla and chimpanzee but was almost entirely restricted to the Y chromosome in orang utan. Most sites of hybridisation were located on homologous chromosomes in all four species, but there were a number of sites which showed no correspondence between satellite DNA location and chromosome banding patterns, and others where a given chromosomal location hybridised with different cRNAs in each species. These results are in contrast to those found for many transcribed DNA sequences, where the same sequence is usually located at homologous chromosome sites in different species, and appear to cast doubt on many proposed models of satellite DNA function. 相似文献

Turdus rufiventris and Turdus albicollis, two songbirds belonging to the family Turdidae (Aves, Passeriformes) were studied by C-banding, 18S rDNA, as well as the use of whole chromosome probes derived from Gallus gallus (GGA) and Leucopternis albicollis (LAL). They showed very similar karyotypes, with 2n = 78 and the same pattern of distribution of heterochromatic blocks and hybridization patterns. However, the analysis of 18/28S rDNA has shown differences in the number of NOR-bearing chromosomes and ribosomal clusters. The hybridization pattern of GGA macrochromosomes was similar to the one found in songbirds studied by Fluorescent in situ hybridization, with fission of GGA 1 and GGA 4 chromosomes. In contrast, LAL chromosome paintings revealed a complex pattern of intrachromosomal rearrangements (paracentric and pericentric inversions) on chromosome 2, which corresponds to GGA1q. The first inversion changed the chromosomal morphology and the second and third inversions changed the order of chromosome segments. Karyotype analysis in Turdus revealed that this genus has derived characteristics in relation to the putative avian ancestral karyotype, highlighting the importance of using new tools for analysis of chromosomal evolution in birds, such as the probes derived from L. albicollis, which make it possible to identify intrachromosomal rearrangements not visible with the use of GGA chromosome painting solely. 相似文献

Establishing chromosomal homology in comparative cytogenetics remained speculative until the advent of molecular cytogenetics.
Chromosome sorting by flow cytometry and degenerate oligonucleotide primed-PCR (DOP-PCR) brought a significant simplification
and impetus to chromosome painting. Comparative chromosome painting has permitted reasonable hypotheses for ancestral karyotypes
at many points on the phylogenetic tree of mammals. Derived associations often provided landmarks that showed the route evolution
took. More recently hybridization with cloned DNA has provided information on intrachromosomal rearrangements. BAC-FISH allows
marker order, in addition to syntenies and associations, to be added to the ancestral karyotypes. Comparisons of marker order
across species revealed that centromere shifts (evolutionary new centromeres) are frequent and important phenomena of chromosome
evolution. Further comparison between evolutionary new centromeres and clinical neocentromeres shows that an evolutionary
perspective can provide compelling, underlying, explicative grounds for contemporary genomic phenomena. 相似文献

Radioactive RNA with sequences complementary to human DNA satellite III was hybridised in situ to metaphase chromosomes of the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), the gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) and the orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus). A quantitative analysis of the radioactivity, and hence of the chromosomal distribution of human DNA satellite III equivalent sequences in the great apes, was undertaken, and the results compared with interspecies chromosome homologies based upon Giemsa banding patterns. In some instances DNA with sequence homology to human satellite III is present on the equivalent (homologous) chromosomes in identical positions in two or more species although quantitative differences are observed. In other cases there appears to be no correspondence between satellite DNA location and chromosome homology determined by banding patterns. These results differ from those found for most transcribed DNA sequences where the same sequence is located on homologous chromosomes in each species. 相似文献

A comparative cytogenetic analysis, using both conventional staining techniques and fluorescence in situ hybridization, of six Indo‐Pacific moray eels from three different genera (Gymnothorax fimbriatus, Gymnothorax flavimarginatus, Gymnothorax javanicus, Gymnothorax undulatus, Echidna nebulosa and Gymnomuraena zebra), was carried out to investigate the chromosomal differentiation in the family Muraenidae. Four species displayed a diploid chromosome number 2n = 42, which is common among the Muraenidae. Two other species, G. javanicus and G. flavimarginatus, were characterized by different chromosome numbers (2n = 40 and 2n = 36). For most species, a large amount of constitutive heterochromatin was detected in the chromosomes, with species‐specific C‐banding patterns that enabled pairing of the homologous chromosomes. In all species, the major ribosomal genes were localized in the guanine‐cytosine‐rich region of one chromosome pair, but in different chromosomal locations. The (TTAGGG)n telomeric sequences were mapped onto chromosomal ends in all muraenid species studied. The comparison of the results derived from this study with those available in the literature confirms a substantial conservation of the diploid chromosome number in the Muraenidae and supports the hypothesis that rearrangements have occurred that have diversified their karyotypes. Furthermore, the finding of two species with different diploid chromosome numbers suggests that additional chromosomal rearrangements, such as Robertsonian fusions, have occurred in the karyotype evolution of the Muraenidae. 相似文献

We mapped chromosomal homologies in two species of Chiropotes (Pitheciini, Saki Monkeys) and one species of Aotus (Aotinae, Owl Monkey) by multi-directional chromosome painting. Human chromosome probes were hybridized to Chiropotes utahicki, C. israelita and Aotus nancymae metaphases. Wooly Monkey chromosome paints were also hybridized to Owl Monkey metaphases. We established Owl Monkey chromosome paint probes by flow sorting and reciprocally hybridized them to human chromosomes. The karyotypes of the Bearded Saki Monkeys studied here are close to the hypothesized ancestral platyrrhine karytoype, while that of the Owl Monkey appears to be highly derived. The A. nancymae karyotype is highly shuffled and only three human syntenic groups were found conserved coexisting with 17 derived human homologous associations. A minimum of 14 fissions and 13 fusions would be required to derive the A. nancymae karyotype from that of the ancestral New World primate karyotype. An inversion between homologs to segments of human 10 and 16 suggests a link between Callicebus and Chiropotes, while the syntenic association of 10/11 found in Aotus and Callicebus suggests a link between these two genera. Future molecular cytogenetic work will be needed to determine whether these rearrangements represent synapomorphic chromosomal traits. 相似文献

We used multidirectional chromosome painting with probes derived by bivariate fluorescence-activated flow sorting of chromosomes
from human, black lemur (Eulemur
macaco
macaco) and tree shrew (Tupaia
belangeri, order Scandentia) to better define the karyological relationship of tree shrews and primates. An assumed close relationship
between tree shrews and primates also assists in the reconstruction of the ancestral primate karyotype taking the tree shrew
as an ”outgroup” species. The results indicate that T.
belangeri has a highly derived karyotype. Tandem fusions or fissions of chromosomal segments seem to be the predominant mechanism in
the evolution of this tree shrew karyotype. The 22 human autosomal painting probes delineated 40 different segments, which
is in the range found in most mammals analyzed by chromosome painting up to now. There were no reciprocal translocations that
would distinguish the karyotype of the tree shrew from an assumed primitive primate karyotype. This karyotype would have included
the chromosomal forms 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3/21, 4–11, 12a/22a, 12b/22b, 13, 14/15, 16a, 16b, 17, 18, 19a, 19b, 20 and X and Y
and had a diploid chromosome number of 2n=50. Of these forms, chromosomes 1a, 1b, 4, 8, 12a/22a, and 12b/22bmay be common derived characters that would link the tree
shrew with primates. To define the exact phylogenetic relationships of the tree shrews and the genomic rearrangements that
gave rise to the primates and eventually to humans further chromosome painting in Rodentia, Lagomorpha, Dermoptera and Chiroptera
is needed, but many of the landmarks of genomic evolution are now known.

Conventional banding techniques can characterize chromosomal aberrations associated with tumors and congenital diseases with considerable precision. However, chromosomal aberrations that have been overlooked or are difficult to analyze even by skilled cytogeneticists were also often noted. Following the introduction of multicolor karyotyping such as spectral karyotyping (SKY) and multiplex-fluorescence in situ hybridization (M-FISH), it is possible to identify this kind of cryptic or complex aberration comprehensively by a single analysis. To date, multicolor karyotyping techniques have been established as useful tools for cytogenetic analysis. However, since this technique depends on whole chromosome painting probes, it involves limitations in that the origin of aberrant segments can be identified only in units of chromosomes. To overcome these limitations, we have recently developed spectral color banding (SCAN) as a new multicolor banding technique based on the SKY methodology. This new technique may be deemed as an ideal chromosome banding technique since it allows representation of a multicolor banding pattern matching the corresponding G-banding pattern. We applied this technique to the analysis of chromosomal aberrations in tumors that had not been fully characterized by G-banding or SKY and found it capable of (1) detecting intrachromosomal aberrations; (2) identifying the origin of aberrant segments in units of bands; and (3) precisely determining the breakpoints of complex rearrangements. We also demonstrated that SCAN is expected to allow cytogenetic analysis with a constant adequate resolution close to the 400-band level regardless of the degree of chromosome condensation. As compared to the conventional SKY analysis, SCAN has remarkably higher accuracy for a particular chromosome, allowing analysis in units of bands instead of in units of chromosomes and is hence promising as a means of cytogenetic analysis. 相似文献

Precise breakpoint definition of chromosomal rearrangements using conventional banding techniques often fails, especially when more than two breakpoints are involved. The classic banding procedure results in a pattern of alternating light and dark bands. Hence, in banded chromosomes a specific chromosomal band is rather identified by the surrounding banding pattern than by its own specific morphology. In chromosomal rearrangements the original pattern is altered and therefore the unequivocal determination of breakpoints is not obvious. The multicolor banding technique (mBAND, see Chudoba et al., 1999) is able to identify breakpoints unambiguously, even in highly complex chromosomal aberrations. The mBAND technique is presented and illustrated in a case of intrachromosomal rearrangement with seven breakpoints all having occurred on one chromosome 16, emphasizing the unique analyzing power of mBAND as compared to conventional banding techniques. 相似文献

"Bar-coding" primate chromosomes: molecular cytogenetic screening for the ancestral hominoid karyotype 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
Two recently introduced multicolor FISH approaches, cross-species color banding (also termed Rx-FISH) and multiplex FISH using painting probes derived from somatic cell hybrids retaining fragments of human chromosomes, were applied in a comparative molecular cytogenetic study of higher primates. We analyzed these "chromosome bar code" patterns to obtain an overview of chromosomal rearrangements that occurred during higher primate evolution. The objective was to reconstruct the ancestral genome organization of hominoids using the macaque as outgroup species. Approximately 160 individual and discernible molecular cytogenetic markers were assigned in these species. Resulting comparative maps allowed us to identify numerous intra-chromosomal rearrangements, to discriminate them from previous contradicting chromosome banding interpretations and to propose an ancestral karyotype for hominoids. From 25 different chromosome forms in an ancestral karyotype for all hominoids of 2N=48 we propose 21. Probes for chromosomes 2p, 4, 9 and Y were not informative in the present experiments. The orangutan karyotype was very similar to the proposed ancestral organization and conserved 19 of the 21 ancestral forms; thus most chromosomes were already present in early hominoid evolution, while African apes and human show various derived changes. 相似文献

A chromosome-specific painting technique has been developed which combines the most recent approaches of the companion disciplines of molecular cytogenetics and genome research. We developed seven oligonucleotide (oligo) pools derivd from single-copy sequences on chromosomes 1 to 7 of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and corresponding collinear regions of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The seven groups of pooled oligos comprised between 10 986 and 12 496 45-bp monomers, and these then produced stable fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) signals on chromosomes of each linkage group of wheat and barley. The pooled oligo probes were applied to high-throughput karyotyping of the chromosomes of other Triticeae species in the genera Secale, Aegilops, Thinopyrum, and Dasypyrum, and the study also extended to some wheat-alien amphiploids and derived lines. We demonstrated that a complete set of whole-chromosome oligo painting probes facilitated the study of inter-species chromosome homologous relationships and visualized non-homologous chromosomal rearrangements in Triticeae species and some wheat-alien species derivatives. When combined with other non-denaturing FISH procedures using tandem-repeat oligos, the newly developed oligo painting techniques provide an efficient tool for the study of chromosome structure, organization, and evolution among any wild Triticeae species with non-sequenced genomes. 相似文献

Comparison of evolutionarily conserved mammalian chromosomes homologous to human chromosome 17, performed with microdissected painting probes, revealed rearrangements inside these chromosomes in mink and pig and a disruption of this conserved region in the fox. Detection of a homologous region on an Iberian shrew chromosome showed the efficiency of microdissected painting probes for delineation of homologous chromosome regions in species belonging to orders that diverged at least 100 million years ago. 相似文献

Chromosome phylogenies of man,great apes,and old world monkeys 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The karyotypes of man and of the closely related Pongidae — chimpanzee, gorilla, and orangutan — differ by a small number of well known rearrangements, mainly pericentric inversions and one fusion which reduced the chromosome number from 48 in the Pongidae to 46 in man. Dutrillaux et al. (1973, 1975, 1979) reconstructed the chromosomal phylogeny of the entire primate order. More and more distantly related species were compared thus moving backward in evolution to the common ancestors of the Pongidae, of the Cercopithecoidae, the Catarrhini, the Platyrrhini, the Prosimians, and finally the common ancestor of all primates. Descending the pyramid it becomes possible to assign the rearrangements that occurred in each phylum, and the one that led to man in particular.The main conclusions are that this phylogeny is compatible with the occurrence during evolution of simple chromosome rearrangements — inversions, fusions, reciprocal translocation, acquisition or loss of heterochromatin — and that it is entirely consistent with the known primate phylogeny based on physical morphology and molecular evolution. If heterochromatin is not taken into account, man has in common with the other primates practically all of his chromosomal material as determined by chromosome banding. However, it is arranged differently, according to species, on account of chromosome rearrangements. This interpretation has been confirmed by comparative gene mapping, which established that the same chromosome segments, identified by banding, carry the same genes (Finaz et al., 1973; Human Gene Mapping 8, 1985).A remarkable observation made by Dutrillaux is that different primate phyla seem to have adopted different chromosome rearrangements in the course of evolution: inversions for the Pongidae, Robertsonian fusions for the lemurs, etc. This observation may raise many questions, among which is that of an organized evolution. Also, the breakpoints of chromosomal rearrangements observed during evolution, in human chromosomal diseases, and after ionizing irradiation do not seem to be distributed at random.Chromosomal rearrangements observed in evolution are known to be harmful in humans, leading to complete or partial sterility through abnormal offspring in the heterozygous state but not in the homozygous state. They then become a robust reproductive barrier capable of creating new species, far more powerful than gene mutations advocated by neo-Darwinism. The homozygous state may be achieved especially through inbreeding, which must have played a major role during primate evolution. Whether new species derive from unique individuals or couples (Adam and Eve), or through a populational process, remains a matter for discussion. 相似文献

By means of cross-reacting molecular probes, some 18 loci specific for the X chromosome of both man and mouse have been localized on the mouse X chromosome using an interspecific mouse cross involving the inbred SPE/Pas strain derived from Mus spretus. Comparison of the localizations of these loci on the mouse X with their positions on the human X chromosome suggests that intrachromosomal rearrangements involving at least five X chromosome breakage events must have occurred during the period of evolutionary divergence separating primates from rodents. Within the five blocks of chromosomal material so defined, there is for the moment little or no evidence that either chromosomal inversion events or extensive rearrangements have occurred. These data confirm the remarkable evolutionary conservation of the X chromosome apparent in mammalian species, compared to autosomal synteny groups in which both inter- and intrachromosomal rearrangement events appear to have occurred frequently. The breakage events described here for the X chromosome should therefore provide a minimal estimate for the frequency of chromosomal rearrangement events, such as breakage and inversion, which have affected autosomal synteny groups during the evolutionary period separating man from mouse. The definition of the number of chromosome breakage events by which the X chromosomes of these species differ, together with their localization, provides a framework for the use of interspecies mouse crosses for further detailed mapping of particular subchromosomal regions of the human X chromosome and for defining loci in the mouse homologous to those implicated in human congenital diseases. 相似文献
