Abstract:Cervidae represents a family that is not only rich in species diversity but also exhibits a wide range of karyotypes. The controversies regarding the phylogeny and classification of Cervidae still persist. The flourishing development of the genomic era has made it possible to address these issues at the genomic level. Here, the genomes of nine species were used to explore the phylogeny and chromosomal evolutionary events of Cervidae. By conducting whole-genome comparisons, we identified single-copy orthologous… Show more
