Cytogenetic map of <i>Gekko hokouensis</i>, which shows chromosome homologies with the chicken and five squamate reptiles.

<p>This map was constructed with 86 functional genes and 18S–28S and 5S rRNA genes. Chromosomal locations of <i>ATP5A1</i>, <i>GHR</i>, <i>CHD1</i>, <i>DMRT1</i>, <i>RPS6</i>, and <i>ACO1</i>/<i>IREBP</i> were obtained from Kawai et al. [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0134829#pone.0134829.ref039" target="_blank">39</a>]. The idiogram of <i>G</i>. <i>hokouensis</i> chromosomes was constructed according to Hoechst 33258-stained band patterns. Locations of the genes on <i>G</i>. <i>hokouensis</i> chromosomes are shown to the right of the chromosomes. The chromosome numbers show the chromosomes of the chicken (<i>Gallus gallus</i>, GGA), green anole (<i>Anolis carolinensis</i>, ACA), butterfly lizard (<i>Leiolepis reevesii rubritaeniata</i>, LRE), Japanese four-striped rat snake (<i>Elaphe quadrivirgata</i>, EQU), water monitor lizard (<i>Varanus salvator macromaculatus</i>, VSA), and sand lizard (<i>Lacerta agilis</i>, LAG), which show homologies with <i>G</i>. <i>hokouensis</i> chromosomes. no, no data on chromosome homology; un, a gene whose chromosomal location remains undetermined. Orange highlight indicates the genes that are homologous to chromosome segments of LAG. These genes are located on LRE, EQU, or VSA microchromosomes. The chromosomal locations of genes in the squamate reptiles were obtained from the following sources: <i>L</i>. <i>reevesii rubritaeniata</i> from Srikulnath et al.
