TL;DR: Comparison of the assembly of 447 equine genes with the location of draft sequences of their human and mouse orthologs provides the most extensive horse-human and horse-mouse comparative map to date.

TL;DR: The history of domestic horse cytogenetics dates from 1912 when Kirillow reported the diploid chromosome number to be between 20 and 34 in male horses, and a new standard (the Paris Standard) was led in 1989, which was more compact, with relatively better band resolution than the Reading Standard.

TL;DR: The reference sequence of a boxer is leveraged to construct the first complete linkage map for the domestic dog, which will enable empiric coverage estimates and multipoint linkage analysis, and benefit association, selective sweep, and phylogenetic mapping approaches.

TL;DR: To generate a domestic horse genome map, synteny information for marker screened on a somatic cell hybrid (SCH) panel with published information for markers physically assigned to chromosomes was integrated.

TL;DR: A comprehensive male linkage map was generated by adding 359 new, informative microsatellites to the International Equine Gene Map half-sibling reference families and by combining genotype data from three independent mapping resources, demonstrating the cohesiveness of the different data sets.
