Background Loaches of the family Nemacheilidae are one of the most speciose elements of
Palearctic freshwater ichthyofauna and have undergone rapid ecological adaptations and …

The caenophidian (assigned also as “advanced”) snakes are traditionally viewed as a group
of reptiles with a limited karyotypic variation and stable ZZ/ZW sex chromosomes. The W …

Whole-genome duplication (WGD) has been a major evolutionary driver of increased
genomic complexity in vertebrates. One such event occurred in the salmonid family∼ 80 Ma …

Iguanas (Pleurodonta) are predominantly distributed in the New World, but one previously
cytogenetically understudied family, Opluridae, is endemic to Madagascar and the adjacent …

The Dascyllus genus consists of 11 species spread over vast regions of the Indo-Pacific,
showing remarkable reductions in the diploid chromosome numbers (2n). The present study …

The plecos (Loricariidae) fish represent a great model for cytogenetic investigations due to
their variety of karyotypes, including diploid and polyploid genomes, and different types of …

Alterations in the structure and location of telomeres are pivotal in cancer genome evolution.
Here, we applied both long-read and short-read genome sequencing to assess telomere …

Salmonids represent an intriguing taxonomical group for investigating genome evolution in
vertebrates due to their relatively recent last common whole genome duplication event …

Changes of telomere length with age were assessed in diploid and triploid rainbow trout
(Oncorhynchus mykiss) females in the cross-sectional study using Q-FISH technique …

The initial experiment of this study was conducted to determine whether sex steroid
concentrations varied before, during and after the reproductive season of European grayling …
