Human and goat comparative map. Human localizations are presented aligned to the standard G-banded karyotype. The cytogenetic localizations in goats are printed at right. Syntenic loci are joined by vertical narrow lines, according to data from this study and chromosome assignments in cattle obtained previously by somatic hybrid analysis [BovGbase (http://bos.cvm.tamu.edu/)]. Furthermore, when our results revealed conserved segments, solid lines were drawn. (Small scissors) Position of human chromosome translocations associated with neoplasia; (large scissors) sites also correlated with an evolutionary breakpoint between humans and ruminants.
