Marsupials occupy a phylogenetic middle ground that is very valuable in genome comparisons of mammal and other vertebrate species. For this reason, whole genome sequencing is being undertaken for two distantly related marsupial species, including the model kangaroo species Macropus eugenii (the tammar wallaby). As a first step towards the molecular characterization of the tammar genome, we present a detailed description of the tammar karyotype, report the development of a set of molecular anchor markers and summarize the comparative mapping data for this species.
有袋类动物处于系统发育的中间位置,这在哺乳动物和其他脊椎动物物种的基因组比较中非常有价值。因此,正在对两种亲缘关系较远的有袋类物种进行全基因组测序,其中包括模式袋鼠物种尤金袋鼠(短尾矮袋鼠)。作为对短尾矮袋鼠基因组进行分子特征分析的第一步,我们详细描述了短尾矮袋鼠的核型,报告了一组分子锚定标记的开发情况,并总结了该物种的比较图谱数据。
