B chromosomes are dispensable genomic elements found in different groups of animals and
plants. In the present study, a whole chromosome probe was generated from a specific …

B Chromosomes are frequent in the subfamily Tetragonopterinae with different
characteristics related to number, size, morphology and distribution. Macro B chromosomes …

Chromosome painting (CP) with a probe of B chromosome obtained by microdissection and
fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with probes of As 51 satellite DNA, C ot− 1 DNA …

Eukaryote genomes are frequently burdened with the presence of supernumerary (B)
chromosomes. Their origin is frequently investigated by chromosome painting, under the …

B chromosomes are apparently dispensable components found in the genomes of many
species that are mainly composed of repetitive DNA sequences. Among the numerous …

The cytogenetic characteristics of five fish species of the Moenkhausia are described, based
on the analysis of specimens collected in different headwater. All the species analyzed …

The aim of this study was to characterize cytogenetically one population of the fish
Moenkhausia sanctaefilomenae (Steindachner, 1907), with emphasis on the analysis of B …

To ascertain the origin of B chromosomes in 2 fish species of the genus Prochilodus, ie P.
lineatus and P. nigricans, we microdissected them and generated B-specific DNA probes …

Mitotic chromosomes of Metynnis maculatus (Kner 1860)(Teleostei, Characiformes), a fish
species that occurs in the Amazon and Paraná-Paraguay river basins, were analyzed for the …

Some of the largest B chromosomes so far discovered in vertebrates are present in the
cyprinid fish Alburnus alburnus. Previous cytogenetic analyses revealed a diploid …
