通过对高度重组的鼠科Sigmodontinae属物种进行比较基因组分析，研究发现存在保守的同源染色体块，这些染色体特征可以作为系统发育标记。在Akodontini族中，分子拓扑结构显示五个低支持的谱系，并分为两大高支持的主要谱系。本文通过使用Hylaeamys megacephalus探针研究了Oxymycterus amazonicus和Blarinomys breviceps的核型，并与其他物种的已有数据进行比较，利用染色体特征来阐明Akodontini族的系统发育关系。分析结果显示，细胞遗传学数据支持了谱系A中的分子关系，同时也揭示了Oxymycterus和Blarinomys属内导致核型多样性的独特事件。此外，研究提出Blarinomys可能是一个物种复合体，建议修订其分类以更好地划定地理范围和分类地位。
摘要：
Comparative chromosome-painting analysis among highly rearranged karyotypes of Sigmodontinae rodents (Rodentia, Cricetidae) detects conserved syntenic blocks, which are proposed as chromosomal signatures and can be used as phylogenetic markers. In the Akodontini tribe, the molecular topology (Cytb and/or IRBP) shows five low-supported clades (divisions: "Akodon", "Bibimys", "Blarinomys", "Oxymycterus", and "Scapteromys") within two high-supported major clades (clade A: "Akodon", "Bibimys", and "Oxymycterus"; clade B: "Blarinomys" and "Scapteromys"). Here, we examine the chromosomal signatures of the Akodontini tribe by using Hylaeamys megacephalus (HME) probes to study the karyotypes of Oxymycterus amazonicus (2n = 54, FN = 64) and Blarinomys breviceps (2n = 28, FN = 50), and compare these data with those from other taxa investigated using the same set of probes. We strategically employ the chromosomal signatures to elucidate phylogenetic relationships among the Akodontini. When we follow the evolution of chromosomal signature states, we find that the cytogenetic data corroborate the current molecular relationships in clade A nodes. We discuss the distinct events that caused karyotypic variability in the Oxymycterus and Blarinomys genera. In addition, we propose that Blarinomys may constitute a species complex, and that the taxonomy should be revised to better delimit the geographical boundaries and their taxonomic status.
