+Analysis of muntjac deer genome and chromatin architecture reveals rapid karyotype evolution.
+
+[[!pmid 32873878 desc="“Comparative Hi-C analysis showed that the chromosome fusions on the M. muntjak lineage altered long-range, three-dimensional chromosome organization relative to M. reevesi in interphase nuclei including A/B compartment structure. This reshaping of multi-megabase contacts occurred without notable change in local chromatin compaction, even near fusion sites.”"]]
+
+“During the ~4.9 million years since the divergence of M. muntjak and M. reevesi, the M. muntjak lineage experienced 26 fusions for a rate of ~5.3 changes per million years.”  “M. muntjak and M. reevesi [...] genomes are locally very similar, with 98.5% identity in aligned regions and a nucleotide divergence of 0.0130 substitutions per site, based on fourfold degenerate positions.”  “The pairwise alignment of the muntjac genomes contains 2.45 Gb of contig sequence [...] average sequence identity of 98.5%, excluding indels [...] In comparison, alignments of red deer, reindeer, and muntjacs to B. taurus contain 1.80–2.21 Gb of contig sequences with 92.7–93.2% average identity.”  “The nucleotide and temporal divergence between the two muntjac species is comparable to the divergence between humans and chimpanzees. The observed chromosome dynamism in muntjacs, however, far exceeds the rate in the chimpanzee and human lineages”  “we noted the maintenance of distinct Hi-C boundaries in several examples, such as the junction between the X and autosomal segments on MMU3_X circa 133 Mb. Other fusion sites, however, show no notable difference compared with the rest of the genome in M. muntjak. As expected, M. reevesi shows a clear distinction between intra- and inter-chromosome contacts, including across fusion sites in M. muntjak.”
