Abstract

Chromosome painting has become a routine tool in comparative cytogenetics. The utility of interspecies chromosome painting has been demonstrated in taxa characterized by highly rearranged karyotypes such as in rodents and lesser apes. Chromosome painting also provides a new level of precision in comparative genome analysis for eliminating errors of confounding convergence with homology. Recent results hold promise that molecular cytogenetics will make a significant contribution to the understanding of the major features of genome evolution.
