Organization and Comparative Analysis of the Genome of Ruminants and Canids – A Review
Journal Title: Journal of Animal Production Advances - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
In the present day context, study of the genomic organization of any species of interest makes it easy to undertake studies on the comparative analyses of the genome. Chromosomal painting, cytogenetic and physical mapping along with transcriptomic analysis have greatly helped in evolutionary studies as well. This is further enhanced by the full genome sequencing. The present review deals with the genomic organization, sequencing and comparative studies involving different ruminant and canine species with a view to increase the depth of the knowledge of the readers regarding the understanding of their evolutionary process.
