From: Anchoring genome sequence to chromosomes of the central bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps) enables reconstruction of ancestral squamate macrochromosomes and identifies sequence content of the Z chromosome

Fig. 4

Reconstruction of the Squamate ancestral macrochromosomes. The predicted karyotype for the Amniote and Archosauromorpha (crocodiles, dinosaurs and birds) ancestor is based on Uno et al. [5]. Only microchromosomes relevant to squamate macrochromosome evolution have been included. Boxes in grey indicate the events (fissions or fusions) leading to the predicted karyotype for the Squamata, Toxicofera, Iguania and Ophidia ancestors. The reconstructed chromosomes have been colour-coded for homology to chicken chromosomes
