Chromosomal localization of two keratin gene families in the karyotype of three species of the family Canidae

Development of a cytogenetic map for the Chinese raccoon dog <i>(Nyctereutes procyonoides procyonoides)</i> and the arctic fox <i>(Alopex lagopus)</i> genomes, using canine-derived microsatellite probes

“…Altogether, to date thirty-five loci have been physically mapped in the Chinese raccoon dog and arctic fox genomes (Rogalska-Niznik et al, 2000Szamalek et al, 2002;Pienkowska et al, 2002a;; this study). All of them were mapped with the use of the canine-derived probes.…”

G/Q-banded chromosome nomenclature of the Chinese raccoon dog, Nyctereutes procyonoides procyonoides Gray

“…The chromosome nomenclature presented in this paper will be useful in studies of the raccoon dog genome, including comparative chromosome painting and FISH localisation of dog‐derived microsatellite probes. Recently, some microsatellite loci and keratin gene families were assigned on the Chinese raccoon dog chromosomes (S zamalek et al 2002; S zczerbal et al 2002).…”

FISH Mapping of Two Putative Keratin Gene Clusters on Cat (Felis catus) Chromosomes

“…Therefore, it can be concluded that physical assignments of the two keratin gene clusters in dogs, cats, and humans are in accordance with comparative genome maps of these three species. Comparative analysis of chromosome localization of the keratin gene clusters in some species of the family Canidae was performed by Szamalek et al (2002). These data also indicate that the basic keratin gene cluster resides on canine chromosome CFA29.…”
