Despite the richness of species in the Hirudinidae family, little is known about the genome organization of swallows.
The Progne tapera species presents genetic and morphological difference when compared to other members of the
same genus. Hence, the aims of this study were to analyze the chromosomal evolution of three species Progne
tapera, Progne chalybea and Pygochelidon cyanoleuca - by comparative chromosome painting using two sets of
probes, Gallus gallus and Zenaida auriculata, in order to determine chromosome homologies and the relationship
between these species. All karyotypes exhibited 76 chromosomes with similar morphology, except for the 5th, 6th
and 7th chromosome pairs in P. cyanoleuca. Additionally, comparative chromosome painting demonstrated the
same hybridization pattern in the two Progne, which was similar to the putative avian ancestral karyotype, except for
the centric fission in the first pair, as found in other Passeriformes. Thus, these data display a close relationship between the Progne species. Although P. cyanoleuca demonstrated the same fission in the first pair of the ancestral
syntenic (GGA1), it also showed an additional chromosomal rearrangement for this species, namely a fusion with a
microchromosome in the seventh pair |
