High evolutionary dynamism in 5S rDNA of fish: state of the art

L Rebordinos, I Cross, A Merlo - Cytogenetic and Genome Research, 2013 - karger.com
Abstract The 5S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) consists of one transcriptional unit of about 120
base pairs, which is separated from the next unit by a non-transcribed spacer (NTS). The …

The 5S rDNA family evolves through concerted and birth-and-death evolution in fish genomes: an example from freshwater stingrays

D Pinhal, TS Yoshimura, CS Araki, C Martins - BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011 - Springer
Background Ribosomal 5S genes are well known for the critical role they play in ribosome
folding and functionality. These genes are thought to evolve in a concerted fashion, with …

Mechanisms of polyploid evolution in fish: polyploidy in sturgeons

Possible ways of polyploid speciation in fish are analysed. According to this analysis, the
autopolyploid origin of bisexual species seems to be practically improbable, whereas their …
