Background The use of applications involving single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) has
greatly increased since the beginning of the 2000s, with the number of associated …

In the fish genus Hoplias, two major general groups can be found, one of which is formed by
the “common trahiras”(Hoplias malabaricus group) and the other by the “giant …

The nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) sequences are often used for phylogenetic analysis
among organisms. Because DNA cytosine methylation and nucleolar dominancy are two …

Using African annual killifishes of the genus Nothobranchius from temporary savannah
pools with rapid karyotype and sex chromosome evolution, we analysed the chromosomal …

Polyploidization has played an important role in the evolution of vertebrates, particularly at
the base of Teleostei–an enormously successful ray-finned fish group with additional …

Nuclear ribosomal RNA gene (nrDNA) has long been deemed as an archetypal example
illustrating concerted evolution. However, nrDNA has been found to be polymorphic in an …

This paper presents the latest update to the Plant rDNA database (Release 4.0), a valuable
resource for researchers in the field of plant cytogenetics. The database provides …

Dinoflagellates are protists with exceptionally large genomes and chromosomes that lack
nucleosomes. To date, information on their genome organization is scarce. Studies …

The butterflyfishes (Chaetodontidae), emblematic inhabitants of coral reef environments,
encompass the majority of known coralivorous species and show one of the highest …

Specificities associated with chromosomal linearity are not restricted to telomeres. Here,
recent results obtained on fission and budding yeast are summarized and an attempt is …
