Chromosomes from seven species of Tupaiidae, including Tupaia glis, T. chinensis, T. longipes, T. montana, T. minor, T. palawanensis and Urogale everetti, were analyzed. The diploid number varied from 68 for T. montana to 44 for U. everetti. T. glis and longipes had identical karyotypes and diploid numbers (2n = 60). T. minor had a diploid number of 66, and palaivanensis had one of 52. The number of biarmed chromosomes per cell varied considerably among the species studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
