The phylogenetic relationship between Equus przewalskii and E. caballus is often a matter of debate. Although these taxa have different chromosome numbers, they do not form monophyletic clades in a phylogenetic tree based on mtDNA sequences. Here we report sequence variation from five newly identified Y chromosome regions of the horse. Two fixed nucleotide differences on the Y chromosome clearly display Przewalski's horse and domestic horse as sister taxa. At both positions the Przewalski's…

X chromosomal and autosomal data do not place Przewalski's horses in a separate clade within phylogenetic trees for horses, suggesting a close relationship between domestic and Przine's horses and the hypothesis that very few male horses along with numerous female horses founded the various domestic horse breeds is supported.

The results suggest that Northern Iberian ponies--which are phenotypically close to British ponies, especially Exmoor--are the result of an introgression rather than population replacement, which supports the close genetic relationship between the ancestral mare populations of the Iberia Peninsula and Northern Africa.

A marker panel consisting of 31 microsatellite loci was used to assess species demarcation and phylogeny, as well as allocation of individuals to specific populations of origin, and the first molecular genetic results for E. hemionus luteus remained contradictory, as they unexpectedly indicated a closer genetic relationship between E. kiang holderi compared with the other hemiones.

The genus Scotophilus is composed of 15 recognized species with 7 species distributed throughout sub-Saharan Africa, 4 distributed across southern and southeastern Asia, 3 endemic to Madagascar, and 1 endemic to Reunion Island, which represents the most comprehensive taxonomic coverage to date.

The Y chromosome, excluding the pseudoautosomal region, is inherited as a single nonrecombinant unit and, therefore, it warrants that mutational events in patrilines are preserved as single haplotypes.

The chromosomes of two Przewalski's horses (at Catskill Game Farm, New York), presumably ancestral wild horses from Mongolia, are identical, with more acrocentric and fewer metacentric elements than the chromosomes of the domestic horse.

Phylogenetic trees of Equus species demonstrate that Przewalskii's wild horse is within the genetic variation among the domestic horse, which suggests that the chromosome number change (probably increase) of the Przewskii’s wild horse occurred rather recently.

The phylogenetic analysis of the mitochondrial DNA sequences of the control region and 12S rRNA gene provides further evidence that the deepest node in the phylogeny of the extant species is a divergence between twolineages, with the later speciation events of the zebras and asses occurring either as one or more rapid radiations, or withextensive secondary contact after speciation.
