+Evolution of the ancestral mammalian karyotype and syntenic regions.
+
+[[!pmid 36161960 desc="Analyses the number of breakpoints between nodes of the
+phylogenetic tree, thanks to ancestral genome reconstruction. “2 extant
+mammals (Dataset S1), representing all 19 eutherian, 3 marsupial, and the
+monotreme orders, were used to reconstruct ancestral karyotypes at 16 nodes of
+the mammalian phylogeny” “We used DESCHRAMBLER to generate reconstructed
+ancestral chromosome fragments (RACFs) for each of 16 mammalian ancestors at
+300-kbp syntenic fragment (SF) resolution” “The reconstructed mammalian
+ancestor karyotype has 19 autosomes plus X, except for the cattle genome-based
+reconstruction, which has two fewer chromosomes and the lowest total
+reconstruction length” “The differences between the mammalian and therian (n =
+17 + X) ancestors’ chromosomes resulted from 96 chromosomal rearrangements over
+18 My.” “The eutherian ancestor (n = 19 + X) is the most recent common
+ancestor of the three lineages represented by the reference genomes. Its
+karyotype evolved from that of the therian ancestor as a result of 124
+chromosomal rearrangements over 53 My.” “We identified 323, 262, and 257 EBRs
+that occurred along the lineage from the mammalian ancestor to the human,
+sloth, and cattle genomes, respectively” “Inversions were most frequent,
+accounting for 76 to 85% of all rearrangements identified for each lineage”
+“The highest number of interchromosomal rearrangements (i.e., fissions and
+fusions) was observed on the branch from the therian to the eutherian ancestor
+(n = 30)” “We observed that 9 of 14 small MAMs have 1:1 orthology to chicken
+chromosomes (GGA) and reconstructed chromosomes of the avian and amniote
+ancestors” “EBRs were found to have a significantly higher density of
+repeats”"]]
### Ancestral karyotpyes
- - The ancestral mammalian genome has 30 chromosomes ([[Zhou and coll., 2021|biblio/33408411]]).
+ - The ancestral mammalian genome has 30 chromosomes ([[Zhou and coll.,
+ 2021|biblio/33408411]]), or 19 + X ([[Damas and coll.,
+ 2022|biblio/36161960]]).
- The ancestral chordate has 17 chromosomes according to amphioxus assemblies
([[Putnam and coll, 2008|biblio/18563158]], [[Simakov and coll., 2020|biblio/32313176]]).
