Comparison of the X chromosome PAR genes in cattle and other mammals. PAR genes (dark blue) and X specific genes (light blue) are indicated for each species. Red dashed lines represent genes with different order relative to the Brahman cattle. The pseudoautosomal boundary gene is the same in all ruminants except goat which has an inversion. Copy number of OBP and BDA20 varies among species. The copy number of OBP and BDA20 are listed in Additional file 1: Table S4. BDA20 is ruminant specific whereas OBP is found in all mammals except human. Assemblies for pig, Hereford cattle, sheep and goat show a truncated PAR. The numbers above each species name represent the approximate PAR size
