Abstract excerpt
We used chromosome paints from both the domestic cat and humans to directly establish chromosomal homology between the genome of these species and the domestic ferret. The chromosome painting data indicate that the ferret has a highly conserved karyotype closer to the ancestral carnivore karyotype than that of the cat. The cat chromosome paints revealed 22 homologous autosomal regions in the ferret genome: 16...
