摘要
Chromosome analyses were conducted or, 15 animals in a pedigree of Somali wild ass, Equus africanus somaliensis. G- and C-banded karyotypes are presented for the first time on this endangered species. The diploid number ranged from 62 to 64. Numerical chromosomal variation was the result of a centric fission which was accompanied by a heterochromatic deletion. The fission polymorphism involved acrocentric elements 19 and 21 as determined by G-banding. These autosomes are homologous to those involved in centric fission/ fusion polymorphisms in other equids: E. asinus (domestic donkey), E. hemionus (onager), E, kiang (kiang), and E. burchelli (common zebra). Banding analyses also revealed a paracentric inversion polymorphism in submetacentric chromosome pair 2 off. a. somaliensis. Both the centric fission and paracentric inversion polymorphisms involved heterochromatic regions. One individual was found to be heterozygous for two de novo chromosomal rearrangements: a centric fission (involving acrocentric elements 19 and 21) and a heterochromatic deletion of chromosome 2.
