Chromosome evolution paper
Figure 1. Dynamics of chromosome evolution in birds and mammals
| Fig 1Dynamics of chromosomal evolution in birds and mammals. Circles represent estimated times (in Myr) of divergence of common ancertors. The three phases of chromosomal evolution discussed in the text are shown in blue (phaseI) red (phaseII) and green (phaseIII). The estimated number of chromosome rearrangements is shown along | each lineage, with the rates of chromosomal rearrangement per million years (in brackets): ps, prosimians (lemur); nw, New World monkeys (six species); ow, Old World monkeys (four species); la, lesser apes ( four species); ga, great apes (six species). For more details see The dynamics of chromosome evolutionin birds and mammals. Burt et al., 1999, Nature 25 November VOL 402:411-413 |
