Satellite DNA represents one of the most fascinating parts of the repetitive fraction of the
eukaryotic genome. Since the discovery of highly repetitive tandem DNA in the 1960s, a lot …

Eukaryotic genomes are composed of both unique and repetitive DNA sequences. These
latter form families of different classes that may be organized in tandem or may be dispersed …

By definition, telomeric sequences are located at the very ends or terminal regions of
chromosomes. However, several vertebrate species show blocks of (TTAGGG) n repeats …

Rineloricaria is the most diverse genus within the freshwater fish subfamily Loricariinae, and
it is widely distributed in the Neotropical region. Despite limited cytogenetic data, records …

Interstitial telomeric sequences (ITSs) consist of tandem repeats of the canonical telomeric
repeat and are common in mammals. They are localized at intrachromosomal sites …

Host‐parasite coevolution was studied between Sparidae (Teleostei) fishes and their
parasites of the genus Lamellodiscus (Monogenea, Diplectanidae) in the northwestern …

In fishes, as in other vertebrate species, the DNA component of the telomeres consists of the
tandemly repeated TTAGGG motif. The length of the telomeric arrays in fishes ranges from 2 …

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

Chicken chromosome paints for macrochromosomes 1-10, Z, and the nine largest
microchromosomes (Griffin et al. 1999) were used to analyze chromosome homologies …

Primary studies on whole sequenced genomes focused on single genes and little attention
was directed to repetitive DNAs, and duplicated segments. Single-and few-copy sequences …
