TLDR
This comprehensive map of goat chromosomes will speed up positional cloning projects in domestic ruminants and clarify some aspects of mammalian chromosomal evolution.Abstract:
A total of 202 genes were cytogenetically mapped to goat chromosomes, multiplying by five the total number of regional gene localizations in domestic ruminants (255). This map encompasses 249 and 173 common anchor loci regularly spaced along human and murine chromosomes, respectively, which makes it possible to perform a genome-wide comparison between three mammalian orders. Twice as many rearrangements as revealed by ZOO-FISH were observed. The average size of conserved fragments could be estimated at 27 and 8 cM with humans and mice, respectively. The position of evolutionary breakpoints often correspond with human chromosome sites known to be vulnerable to rearrangement in neoplasia. Furthermore, 75 microsatellite markers, 30 of which were isolated from gene-containing bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs), were added to the previous goat genetic map, achieving 88% genome coverage. Finally, 124 microsatellites were cytogenetically mapped, which made it possible to physically anchor and orient all the linkage groups. We believe that this comprehensive map will speed up positional cloning projects in domestic ruminants and clarify some aspects of mammalian chromosomal evolution.

TL;DR: Comparative analysis suggests that an excess of chromosome fissions in the tetrapod lineage may account for chromosome numbers and provides histories for several human chromosomes.

TL;DR: The comparative map suggests that 41 translocation events, a minimum of 54 internal rearrangements, and repositioning of all but one centromere can account for the observed organizations of the cattle and human genomes.

TL;DR: Inspection of ruminant linkage maps indicates that the genomic coverage by the current sheep linkage map is comparable to that of the available cattle maps.

Evolution of mammalian genome organization inferred from comparative gene mapping
TL;DR: Comparative genome analyses, including chromosome painting in over 40 diverse mammalian species, ordered gene maps from several representatives of different mammalian and vertebrate orders, and large-scale sequencing of the human and mouse genomes are beginning to provide insight into the rates and patterns of chromosomal evolution on a whole-genome scale.

How Malleable is the Eukaryotic Genome? Extreme Rate of Chromosomal Rearrangement in the Genus Drosophila
TL;DR: Comparison with available rates of chromosomal evolution, taking into account genome size, indicates that the Drosophila genome shows the highest rate found so far in any eukaryote, and supports the notion that it is extraordinarily malleable and has a modular organization.

Double muscling in cattle due to mutations in the myostatin gene
TL;DR: The similarity in phenotypes of double-muscled cattle and myostatin null mice suggests that mystatin performs the same biological function in these two species and is a potentially useful target for genetic manipulation in other farm animals.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a mutation in bovine MSTN, which encodes myostatin, a member of the TGFβ superfamily, is responsible for the double-muscled phenotype, and an 11-bp deletion in the coding sequence for the bioactive carboxy-termihal domain of the protein causing the muscular hypertrophy observed in Belgian Blue cattle is reported.

TL;DR: It appears likely that the mh allele in these breeds involves mutation within theMyostatin gene and that myostatin is a negative regulator of muscle growth in cattle as well as mice.
