TL;DR: The comparative chromosome maps presented between human and these Afrotherian species provide further insight into mammalian genome organization and comparative genomic data for theAfrotheria, one of the four major evolutionary clades postulated for the Eutheria.

TL;DR: A paucity of comparative mapping data precludes the assignment of the sequences contained in cattle Xp to either the presumed conserved (XCR) or the recently added (XAR) region of the eutherian X chromosome, and the reasons for the retention of these sequences as an evolutionarily conserved unit in the intrachromosomal restructuring of the bovid X across lineages remain enigmatic.

TL;DR: The molecular cytogenetic data allow for a refinement of the structural changes that have shaped genome evolution in this group of mammals and underscore the rapid radiation of the Leporidae suggested by mitochondrial DNA sequence data.

TL;DR: Fluorescence in situ hybridization and conventional banding techniques were used to identify patterns of similarity among the genomes of six species of antelope, subfamily Cephalophinae, and revealed two euchromatic pericentric inversions which had occurred since their common ancestry.

TL;DR: It is shown that intrachromosomal rearrangements distinguish the X chromosomes of these species, and it is believed that this approach (combining conventional and molecular cytogenetic studies on the X chromosome) will prove useful for inferring phylogenetic relationships in the family Bovidae, particularly as more probes become available.
