The family Cervidae is the second most diverse family in the infraorder Pecora and is characterized by a striking variability in the diploid chromosome numbers among species, ranging from 6 to 70. Chromosomal rearrangements in Cervidae have been studied in detail by chromosome painting. There are many comparative cytogenetic data for both subfamilies (Cervinae and Capreolinae) based on homologies with chromosomes of cattle and Chinese muntjac. Previously it was found that interchromosomal rearrangements are the major type of rearrangements occurring in the Cervidae family. Here, we build a detailed chromosome map of a female reindeer (Rangifer tarandus, 2n = 70, Capreolinae) and a female black muntjac (Muntiacus crinifrons, 2n = 8, Cervinae) with dromedary homologies to find out what other types of rearrangements may have underlined the variability of Cervidae karyotypes. To track chromosomal rearrangements and the distribution of nucleolus organizer regions not only during Cervidae but also Pecora evolution, we summarized new data and compared them with chromosomal maps of other already studied species. We discuss changes in the pecoran ancestral karyotype in the light of new painting data. We show that intrachromosomal rearrangements in autosomes of Cervidae are more frequent than previously thought: at least 13 inversions in evolutionary breakpoint regions were detected. |
