TI  - Karyotype Evolution in Birds: From Conventional Staining to Chromosome Painting.

AB  - In the last few decades, there have been great efforts to reconstruct the 
      phylogeny of Neoaves based mainly on DNA sequencing. Despite the importance of 
      karyotype data in phylogenetic studies, especially with the advent of 
      fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) techniques using different types of 
      probes, the use of chromosomal data to clarify phylogenetic proposals is still 
      minimal. Additionally, comparative chromosome painting in birds is restricted to 
      a few orders, while in mammals, for example, virtually all orders have already 
      been analyzed using this method. Most reports are based on comparisons using 
      Gallus gallus probes, and only a small number of species have been analyzed with 
      more informative sets of probes, such as those from Leucopternis albicollis and 
      Gyps fulvus, which show ancestral macrochromosomes rearranged in alternative 
      patterns. Despite this, it is appropriate to review the available cytogenetic 
      information and possible phylogenetic conclusions. In this report, the authors 
      gather both classical and molecular cytogenetic data and describe some 
      interesting and unique characteristics of karyotype evolution in birds.
