“…Since both GGA4 and GGA5 delineated multiple syntenic segments in coot and common moorhen, we conclude that fission of the ancestral GGA chromosomes was followed by fusion events in Gruiformes. With the notable exception of 1 species of Strigiformes [de Oliveira et al, 2008], associations of GGA4/GGA5 and GGA6/GGA7 are not known in other lineages. Because most Neoaves lack these associations, it is plausible to assume that GGA4/GGA5 and GGG6/ GGA7 originated independently in Gruiformes and Strigiformes.…”

Cross-species chromosome painting can directly visualize syntenies between diverged karyotypes and, thus, increase our knowledge on avian genome evolution. DNA libraries of chicken (Gallus gallus, GGA) macrochromosomes 1 to 10 were hybridized to metaphase spreads of 9 different species from 3 different orders (Anseriformes, Gruiformes and Passeriformes). Depending on the analyzed species, GGA1–10 delineated 11 to 13 syntenic chromosome regions, indicating a high degree of synteny conservation. No exchange between the GGA macrochromosome complement and microchromosomes of the analyzed species was observed. GGA1 and GGA4 were distributed on 2 or 3 chromosomes each in some of the analyzed species, indicating rare evolutionary rearrangements between macrochromosomes. In all 6 analyzed species of Passeriformes, GGA1 was diverged on 2 macrochromosomes, representing a synapomorphic marker for this order. GGA4 was split on 2 chromosomes in most karyotypes, but syntenic to a single chromosome in blackcap (Passeriformes). GGA5/10 and also GGA8/9 associations on chromosomes were found to be important cytogenetic features of the Eurasian nuthatch (Passeriformes) karyotype. Fusion of GGA4 and GGA5 segments and of entire GGA6 and GGA7, respectively, was seen in the 2 analyzed species of Gruiformes. Consistent with the literature, our inter-species chromosome painting demonstrates remarkable conservation of macrochromosomal synteny over 100 million years of avian evolution. The low rate of rearrangements between macrochromosomes and the absence of detectable macrochromosome-microchromosome exchanges suggests a predominant role for rearrangements within the gene-dense microchromosome complement in karyotypic diversification.

“…The GGA karyotype is considered to be closely related to the putative ancestral bird karyotype [Schmid et al, 2000;Shibusawa et al, 2004a;Griffin et al, 2007], and its genome is the only one in the avian class that has undergone wholegenome sequencing [Hillier et al, 2004]. Up to date about 40 bird species belonging to 10 orders have been analyzed by Zoo-FISH with chicken paints derived from flow-sorted chromosomes [Shetty et al, 1999;Schmid et al, 2000;Raudsepp et al, 2002;Guttenbach et al, 2003;Kasai et al, 2003;Derjusheva et al, 2004;Shibusawa et al, 2004a, b;de Oliveira et al, 2005de Oliveira et al, , 2008Nanda et al, 2006Nanda et al, , 2007Nishida-Umehara et al, 2007;Nishida et al, 2008]. Comparative analyses with chicken paints in different birds have successfully contributed to trace evolutionary relationships among diverse species, particularly providing insights into the chromosomal reorganization of the ancestral bird karyotype.…”

The stone curlew, also known as thick-knee (Burhinus oedicnemus, BOE), represents a phylogenetically young species of the shorebirds (Charadriiformes) that exhibits one of the most atypical genome organizations known within the class of Aves, due to an extremely low diploid number (2n = 42) and only 6 pairs of microchromosomes in its complement. This distinct deviation from the ‘typical’ avian karyotype is attributed to repeated fusions of ancestral microchromosomes. In order to compare different species with this atypical avian karyotype and to investigate the chromosome rearrangement patterns, chromosome-specific painting probes representing the whole genome of the stone curlew were used to delineate chromosome homology between BOE and 5 species belonging to 5 different avian orders: herring gull (Charadriiformes), cockatiel (Psittaciformes), rock pigeon (Columbiformes), great gray owl (Strigiformes) and Eurasian coot (Gruiformes). Paints derived from the 20 BOE autosomes delimited 28 to 33 evolutionarily conserved segments in the karyotypes of the 5 species, similar to the number recognized by BOE paints in such a basal lineage as the chicken (28 conserved segments). This suggests a high degree of conservation in genome organization in birds. BOE paints also revealed some species-specific rearrangements. In particular, chromosomes BOE1–4 and 14, as well as to a large extent BOE5 and 6, showed conserved synteny with macrochromosomes, whereas homologous regions for BOE7–13 are found to be largely distributed on microchromosomes in the species investigated. Interestingly, the 6 pairs of BOE microchromosomes 15–20 appear to have undergone very few rearrangements in the 5 lineages investigated. Although the arrangements of BOE homologous segments on some chromosomes can be explained by complex fusions and inversions, the occurrence of homologous regions at multiple sites may point to fission of ancestral chromosomes in the karyotypes of the species investigated. However, the present results demonstrate that the ancestral microchromosomes most likely experienced fusion in the stone curlew lineage forming the medium-sized BOE chromosomes, while they have been conserved as microchromosomes in the other neoavian lineages.

“…Recent chromosome painting studies in birds with chicken chromosome-specific DNA probes have revealed chromosome homologies and interchromosomal rearrangements between the chicken and 52 avian species representing 12 orders Nishida-Umehara et al, 2007;Nanda et al, 2007Nanda et al, , 2011de Oliveira et al, 2008de Oliveira et al, , 2010Nishida et al, 2008Nishida et al, , 2013Nie et al, 2009). The distribution of telomeric (TTAGGG)n repeats and the 18S-28S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes have also provided us with basic information on karyotype reorganization in avian species because the chromosomal distributions of the 18S-28S rRNA genes are highly variable between species and the presence of interstitial telomeric repeats is one piece of evidence for telomere-to-telomere fusions in chromosomes (Meyne et al, 1990;Nanda et al, 2002;Delany et al, 2009;Nishida et al, 2013).…”

Comparison of the Chromosome Structures between the Chicken and Three Anserid Species, the Domestic Duck (Anas platyrhynchos), Muscovy Duck (Cairina moschata), and Chinese Goose (Anser cygnoides), and the Delineation of their Karyotype Evolution by Comparative Chromosome Mapping

To better understand the process of karyotype evolution in Galloanserae (Galliformes and Anseriformes), we performed comparative chromosome painting with chicken chromosome-specific DNA probes and FISH mapping of the 18S-28S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, telomeric (TTAGGG)n repeats, and cDNA clones of 37 genes for three anserid species, the domestic duck (Anas platyrhynchos), Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata), and Chinese goose (Anser cygnoides). Each chicken probe of chromosomes 1-9 and the Z chromosome painted a single pair of chromosomes in the three species except for the chromosome 4 probe, which painted acrocentric chromosome 4 and a pair of microchromosomes. The 18S-28S rRNA genes were localized to four pairs of microchromosomes in the domestic duck and Muscovy duck, and eight pairs of microchromosomes in the Chinese goose. The (TTAGGG)n repeats were localized to both telomeric ends of all chromosomes in the three species, and were additionally located in the interstitial region of the short arm of chromosome 1 in the domestic duck and in the centromeric region of chromosome 1 in the Muscovy duck. Comparative gene mapping of 37 chicken chromosome 1-4-linked and Zlinked genes revealed high chromosome homologies among three anserid species and also between the chicken and the three anserid species, although there were several chromosome rearrangements: pericentric inversion in chromosome 2, pericentric and paracentric inversions or centromere repositioning in the Z chromosome between the chicken and the anserid species, and pericentric inversions in chromosome 4 and the Z chromosome between the Chinese goose and the two duck species. These results collectively suggest that karyotypes have been highly conserved in Anseriformes and that chromosome rearrangements also occurred less frequently between Galliformes and Anseriformes after they diverged around 100 million years ago.
