Atlas of Mammalian Chromosomes

Atlas of Mammalian Chromosomes, 2nd Edition, serves as a cytogenetic reference compiling banded metaphase chromosome karyotypes for approximately 1,000 mammalian species. The work provides foundational structural data for chromosome-level genome assemblies and comparative genomics research.

Nearly all species records feature G-banded karyotypes that reveal homologous segments across related taxa. Individual entries integrate chromosome images with common and Latin species names, original publication citations, and acknowledgments of contributing authors.

Prepared for geneticists, mammalogists, and biologists, this volume addresses the Human Genome Project mandate to annotate non-human genomes while aiding investigations into genome organization, natural selection, and speciation.
