In addition to their location at terminal positions, telomeric-like repeats are also present at
internal sites of the chromosomes (i ntrachromosomal or i nterstitial t elomeric s equences …

Rodents constitute one of the most diversified mammalian orders. Due to the morphological
similarity in many of the groups, their taxonomy is controversial. Karyotype information …

Telomere has a central role in chromosomal stability events. Chromosome ends organized
in telomere-loop prevent activation of DNA damage response (DDR) mechanisms, thus …

Telomeres are nucleoprotein complexes protecting the physical ends of linear eukaryotic
chromosomes and therefore helping to ensure their stability and integrity. Additionally …

We describe a new genus of sigmodontine rodent to allocate a fossil species from Lagoa
Santa cave deposits, Habrothrix angustidens Winge, and a living species from southeastern …

For the first time the mammalian fauna of the Pampas from Uruguay and southern Brazil was
considered as a whole, despite political borders. The study area comprises the Uruguayan …

Chromosome counts and karyotype characterization have proved to be important features of
a genome. Chromosome changes during the diversification of ants might play an important …

Comparative studies among seven populations of 2n= 60 S. leucodon employing classic
cytogenetics (G-bands, C-bands, AgNOR-staining), fluorochrome staining, and fluorescence …

Traditionally comparative cytogenetic studies are based mainly on banding patterns.
Nevertheless, when dealing with species with highly rearranged genomes, as in Akodon …

Background The combination of classical cytogenetics with molecular techniques represents
a powerful approach for the comparative analysis of the genome, providing data for the …
