Comparative FISH mapping of some 150 YAC and BAC clones from human chromosome 3 in orangutans (PPY), siamang gibbon (HSY), silvered-leaf monkey (PCR) and Geoffroys marmoset (CGE) revealed that...
Platypus have four male-specific chromosomes that segregate together at meiosis (2004)
Grützner, Frank, Rens, W., Jones, R., Tsend-Ayush, Enkhjargal, Marshall Graves, J. A.
More than 200 years after the discovery of the platypus, monotreme chromosomes remain deeply puzzling. Karyotypes of both sexes were claimed to contain a set of chromosomes for which no homologues...
