“…Our results showed that the significant contracted gene family among eight Cervidae species is the olfactory receptor family, which involves biological functions and signaling pathways including odorant binding (GO:0005549, p < 0.01), sensory perception of smell (GO:0007608, p < 0.01) and olfactory transduction (ko04740, p < 0.01) (Table S5). In mammalian species, the olfactory system plays a crucial role in mate detection [63], risk avoidance [64] and other survival functions. However, the number of olfactory receptors changes as species adapt to the environment [65].…”

Cervidae represents a family that is not only rich in species diversity but also exhibits a wide range of karyotypes. The controversies regarding the phylogeny and classification of Cervidae still persist. The flourishing development of the genomic era has made it possible to address these issues at the genomic level. Here, the genomes of nine species were used to explore the phylogeny and chromosomal evolutionary events of Cervidae. By conducting whole-genome comparisons, we identified single-copy orthologous genes across the nine species and constructed a phylogenetic tree based on the single-copy orthologous genes sequences, providing new insights into the phylogeny of Cervidae, particularly the phylogenetic relationship among sika deer, red deer, wapiti and Tarim red deer. Gene family analysis revealed contractions in the olfactory receptor gene family and expansions in the histone gene family across eight Cervidae species. Furthermore, synteny analysis was used to explore the chromosomal evolutionary events of Cervidae species, revealing six chromosomal fissions during the evolutionary process from Bovidae to Cervidae. Notably, specific chromosomal fusion events were found in four species of Cervus, and a unique chromosomal fusion event was identified in Muntiacus reevesi. Our study further completed the phylogenetic relationship within the Cervidae and demonstrated the feasibility of inferring species phylogeny at the whole-genome level. Additionally, our findings on gene family evolution and the chromosomal evolutionary events in eight Cervidae species lay a foundation for comprehensive research of the evolution of Cervidae.
