These data are presented in support of structural and evolutionary analysis of the published article entitled "The occurrence of three D-J-C clusters within the dromedary TRB locus highlights a shared evolution in Tylopoda, Ruminantia and Suina" (Antonacci et al., 2017) [1]. Here we describe the genomic structure and the gene content of the T cell receptor beta chain (TRB) locus in Camelus drom...

The species problem and the debate about species concepts have been shaking up both evolutionary biology and taxonomy for decades or even centuries (Wilkins 2009), but over the last 10 or so years the paradigmatic shift from the biological species concept (BSC) to the phylogenetic species concept(s) (PSC) has added a new dimension to the discussion: taxonomic inflation (Isaac et al. 2004), i. e...

The phenomenon of syntenic genetic conservation of chromosomes enables application of molecular probes obtained from one species of animals to detect homologous DNA segments in another species. The aim of this study was identification of sex chromosomes in fallow deer (Dama dama), using in interspecies hybridizations in situ (Zoo-FISH technique) the bovine heterosomes painting probes. The resul...

Despite the biological and economic importance of the Cetartiodactyla, the phylogeny of this clade remains controversial. Using the supertree approach of matrix representation with parsimony, we present the first phylogeny to include all 290 extant species of the Cetacea (whales and dolphins) and Artiodactyla (even-toed hoofed mammals). At the family-level, the supertree is fully resolved. For ...
