    Abstract

    Homology among three pairs of domestic pig (Sus scrofa) and five pairs of babirusa (Babyrousa babyrussa) autosomes has been demonstrated with the use of porcine painting probes. With the results of this study, in addition to data obtained earlier through the application of banding techniques, correspondence between all individual chromosomes of these two distantly related pigs has been identified.
