“…Anchoring super-scaffolds to the chromosomes The domestic goat has 29 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (2n = 60) 19 . Cytogenetic comparisons indicate a high level of colinearity between goat and cattle chromosomes, and all 30 goat chromosomes have been ordered according to the International System for Chromosome Nomenclature for Bovids 20 .…”

“…Although the diploid chromosome number ranges from 2n ¼ 30 to 2n ¼ 60, the number of autosomal arms (NAA) has remained constant at 56-58 for most species. Chromosomal change in the Bovidae has occurred primarily through centric fusion (Wurster & Benirschke, 1968;Effron et al, 1976;Buckland & Evans, 1978a;Gallagher & Womack, 1992;Gallagher, Derr & Womack, 1994). Although there is good evidence of tandem rearrangements in some species (Gallagher & Womack, 1992) and paracentric inversions in others (Hayes, Petit & Dutrillaux,1991;Robinson et al, 1998), these seem to be the exception rather than the rule.…”

Comparative Analysis (Hippotragini versus Caprini, Bovidae) of X-Chromosome's Constitutive Heterochromatin by in situ Restriction Endonuclease Digestion: X-Chromosome Constitutive Heterochromatin Evolution

The Bovidae X-chromosome shows a considerable variation, in contrast to the preservative autosomal conservatism. The X-chromosome variation is mostly a consequence of the constitutive heterochromatin (CH) variation; in what respect to its amount and position. This is especially common among the non-Bovinae subfamilies and tribes. In order to characterize the X-chromosome CH in non-Bovinae species -Hippotragini and Caprini tribes -we have used restriction endonuclease digestion on fixed chromosomes and sequential C-banding. With these techniques we were able to distinguish between the two X-chromosome types (Hippotragini and Caprini) CH, in what respect to its position and molecular nature. Moreover, we define at least, six subclasses of CH in both X-chromosome types analyzed. Evolutionary considerations were draw based on the results obtained. The technology used here for the analysis of the Bovidae X-chromosome CH showed to be more evolutionary informative than the classical approaches.Abbreviations: BAC -bacterial artificial chromosomes; CBP-banding -C-bands by barium hydroxide using propidium iodide; CH -constitutive heterochromatin; Chr -chromosome; DAPI -4¢-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole; DNA -deoxyribonucleic acid; FISH -fluorescent in situ hybridization; GTD-banding -G-bands by trypsin with DAPI; MYBP -million years ago before present; NAA -number of autosomal arms; PBS -phosphate-buffered saline; RE-banding -restriction endonuclease banding; RE-bands -restriction endonuclease bands; RE -restriction endonuclease; REs -restriction endonucleases; SSC -saline sodium citrate.

“…The bontebok has a more richly purplish brown body, with more white on the legs than the blesbok, and the large rump-patch is pure white. Both have 2n = 38 chromosomes (Wurster and Benirschke, 1968), and they are capable of interbreeding (Fabricius et al, 1989). The social structure is similar to that of many African plains antelope, with territorial males, groups of bachelor males, and female (nursery or harem) herds.…”

Abstract-In addition to the nine compounds identified in the interdigital secretion of the bontebok, Damaliscus dorcas dorcas, in a previous study, 76 compounds belonging to different compound types, were identified in the interdigital secretions of the bontebok and the blesbok, D. d. phillipsi. These compounds include alkanes, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, fatty acids, terpenoids, ')"lactones, an isopropyl ester, long-chain hydroxyesters, 2-substituted pyridines, phenols, steroids, and dimethylsulfone. No qualitative differences were found between secretions from the two sexes or from animals from different habitats. Although no attempt was made to correlate territorial behavior or other behavioral phenomena with the qualitative composition of interdigital secretions from individual animals, available information seems to indicate that quantitative differences probably do not have a major semiochemical function. Only two species of bacteria, Bacillus brevis and Planococcus cit reus, were found in the interdigital pouches of male and female members of the two subspecies, regardless of the habitat of the animals.
