Evolutionary history of LINE-1 in the major clades of placental mammals

Waters P.D. Dobigny G. Waddell P.J. Robinson T.J. (2007)

Background. LINE-1 constitutes an important component of mammalian genomes. It has a dynamic evolutionary history characterized by the rise, fall and replacement of subfamilies. Most data concerning LINE-1 biology and ...
Low rate of genomic repatterning in Xenarthra inferred from chromosome painting data

Dobigny G. Yang F. O'Brien P.C.M. Volobouev V. Kovacs A. Pieczarka J.C. Ferguson-Smith M.A. Robinson T.J. (2005)

Comparative cytogenetic studies on Xenarthra, one of the most basal mammalian clades in the Placentalia, are virtually absent, being restricted largely to descriptions of conventional karyotypes and diploid numbers. We ...
Reciprocal chromosome painting among human, aardvark, and elephant (superorder Afrotheria) reveals the likely eutherian ancestral karyotype

Yang F. Alkalaeva E.Z. Perelman P.L. Pardini A.T. Harrison W.R. O'Brien P.C.M. Fu B. Graphodatsky A.S. Ferguson-Smith M.A. Robinson T.J. (2003)

The Afrotheria, a supraordinal grouping of mammals whose radiation is rooted in Africa, is strongly supported by DNA sequence data but not by their disparate anatomical features. We have used flow-sorted human, aardvark, ...
