    Notes: Abstract The unambiguous identification of ovine chromsomes has become essential for the mapping of the sheep genome, which predominantly consists of telocentric chromosomes of gradually decreasing size. Nucleolus organizer regions (NORs) and Robertsonian fusions have been used here as the cytological and morphological markers, respectively, to define the banding pattern of eight paris of sheep telocentric chromosomes that have an ambiguous identification status. Five Robertsonian chromosomes involving most of the ambiguous chromosomes as well as normal prometaphase chromosomes were stained sequentially and separately by QFQ, GTG, and Ag-NOR methodologies. The prometaphase banding patterns of the ambiguous chromosomes 4, 6, 8, 9, 21, 24, 25 and 26 are represented schematically. For providing an accurate image of the banding pattern, a system of shading has been employed to show the relative intensity of bands in a given chromosome. The results presented here will facilitate the regional mapping of the sheep genome, extend the information on cytogenetic homology with other bovids, and substantially accelerate the comparative mapping studies in Bovidae.

    Notes: Abstract Seven new loci, casein alpha-S1 (CSN1S1), casein alpha-S2 (CSN1S2), casein beta (CSN2), the Hardy-Zuckerman 4 feline sarcoma viral (v-kit) oncogene homolog (KIT), albumin (ALB), phosphodiesterase cyclic GMP (rod receptor) beta polypeptide (PDEB), and complement component 1 (IF), were assigned to sheep Chromosome (Chr) 6 by Southern hybridization to a panel of chromosomally characterized sheep x hamster cell hybrids. By isotopic in situ hybridization, CSN2 was regionally localized to sheep Chr (OOV) 6q22–q31, anchoring this syntenic group of markers on to OOV6 and confirming its homology at a molecular and cytological level with cattle Chr 6. The assignment of these loci, from PDEB (located on human Chr 4p16.3) to IF (on HSA4q24–q25), and the observation that interleukin 2 (IL2, on HSA 4q26–q27) and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO2, on HSA4q31) are not located on OOV6, is further evidence of the close evolutionary relationship of sheep and cattle and the conserved synteny in these species of this extensive region of human Chr 4. On the basis of this conserved synteny, and the similar G- and Q-banding patterns of this chromosome in cattle and sheep, we propose that this sheep chromosome be numbered as 6, not 4 as recommended by ISCNDA (1990).
