Chromosomal banding techniques and repetitive DNA mapping are useful tools in
comparative analysis and in the elucidation of genome organization of several groups of …

Hybridization is a powerful tool for improving productivity and profitability in aquaculture. To
determine the performance characteristics of Patinopecten scallop hybrids, complete diallel …

Mutations of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway has essential roles in development and
cancer. Although β-catenin and adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene mutations are well …

This paper reports on the chromosomal location of 18S rRNA, 5S rRNA and H3 histone
multigene families in 4 species of a relatively ancient and diversified group of grasshoppers …

We characterized the DTF2 satellite DNA family of the clam Donaxtrunculus and compared
its chromosomal localization with cytogenetic data revealed by fluorochrome banding, C …

Background Chromosome rearrangements are an important part of the speciation process in
many taxa. The study of chromosome evolution in bivalves is hampered by the absence of …

We describe the chromosomal location of GC-rich regions, 28S and 5S rDNA, core histone
genes, and telomeric sequences in the veneroid bivalve species Venerupis aurea and …

To consolidate the genetic, physical, and cytogenetic maps of scallop (Patinopecten
yessoensis), we constructed a molecular cytogenetic map by localizing 84 fosmid clones …

The reliability of genome analysis and proficiency of genetic manipulation requires
knowledge of the correspondence between the genetic and cytogenetic maps. In the present …

Background The whole repeat unit of 5S rDNA and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of
four European Donax species were analysed. After amplifying, cloning and sequencing …
