“…Each biarmed water buffalo chromosome is derived from the fusion of two bovine acrocentrics. (a) This shows the similar banding patterns for bovine chromosomes 29 and 16 to water buffalo chromosome 5 22, ( b) This shows similar banding patterns for bovine chromosome 12 and water buffalo chromosome 13 22.…”

“…The RH panel for river buffalo is a recent development that has been used to construct preliminary RH maps for several of the water buffalo chromosomes 22-26. The preliminary RH maps for BBU1, BBU3, BBU6, BBU7, BBU10, and BBUX were based on markers derived from cattle, and showed that the bovine genome is a useful source of markers for buffalo genome mapping.…”

The water buffalo is vital to the lives of small farmers and to the economy of many countries worldwide. Not only are they draught animals, but they are also a source of meat, horns, skin and particularly the rich and precious milk that may be converted to creams, butter, yogurt and many cheeses. Genome analysis of water buffalo has advanced significantly in recent years. This review focuses on currently available genome resources in water buffalo in terms of cytogenetic characterization, whole genome mapping and next generation sequencing. No doubt, these resources indicate that genome science comes of age in the species and will provide knowledge and technologies to help optimize production potential, reproduction efficiency, product quality, nutritional value and resistance to diseases. As water buffalo and domestic cattle, both members of the Bovidae family, are closely related, the vast amount of cattle genetic/genomic resources might serve as shortcuts for the buffalo community to further advance genome science and biotechnologies in the species.

“…Myosin, heavy chain 7, cardiac muscle, beta (Amaral et al 2007;Goldammer et al 2007;Strafuzza et al 2007;Ianella et al 2008). Cytogenetic studies on female river buffaloes with reproductive problems (lack of oestrus or pregnancy, even in the presence of the bull) have revealed a high frequency (20%) of sterile females carrying sex chromosome abnormalities (reviewed in Di Meo et al 2008).…”

An extended river buffalo (Bubalus bubalis, 2n = 50) cytogenetic map: assignment of 68 autosomal loci by FISH-mapping and R-banding and comparison with human chromosomes

et al. 2008

We report an extended river buffalo (Bubalus bubalis, 2n = 50; BBU) cytogenetic map including 388 loci, of which 68 have been FISH-mapped on autosomes in the present study. Ovine and caprine BAC clones containing both type I loci (known genes) and type II loci (simple sequence repeats (SRs), microsatellite marker, sequence-tagged sites (STSs)), previously assigned to sheep chromosomes, have been localized on R-banded river buffalo chromosomes (BBU), which expands the cytogenetic map of this important domestic species and increases our knowledge of the physical organization of its genome. The loci mapped in the present study correspond to loci already localized on homoeologous cattle (and sheep) chromosomes and chromosome bands, further confirming the high degree of chromosome homoeologies among bovids. The comparison of the integrated cytogenetic maps of BBU2p/BBU10 and BBU5p/BBU16 with those of human chromosomes (HSA) 6 and 11, respectively, identified, at least, nine conserved chromosome segments in each case and complex rearrangements differentiating river buffalo (and cattle) and human chromosomes.

“…Genomic analysis of this species has advanced significantly in the last decade with the development of methodologies such as radiation hybrid panels for whole genome mapping (Amaral et al, 2007;Stafuzza et al, 2009) and genomic BAC libraries (Stafuzza et al, 2012) for region-specific resequencing and characterization of target genes (Stafuzza et al, 2014a,b,c).…”
