Figure 5
Schematic diagram showing sex chromosome homology of P. ornatum with chromosomes of other frog species. The sex determining region (10.4 Mb) of X. tropicalis is estimated to lie at the terminal tip of sex chromosome 7 (Furman et al.31), indicated by a red bar, and two genes (Cyp17 and Got1) are located next to it. Likewise, chromosome 8, 9 and ZW sex chromosome 7 of Glandirana rugosa, Rana temporaria and Buergeria buergeri, respectively, share the two or one genes, and are located within the non-recombining region in B. buerugeri, indicated by a dark blue bar. The six and 14 sex-linked genes identified in cluster 1 and cluster 2 of P. ornatum, respectively, are shared with chromosome 10 (two with chromosome 8) of Rana temporaria or sex chromosome 7 of X. tropicalis.
