Evidence for 5S rDNA Horizontal Transfer in the toadfish Halobatrachus didactylus (Schneider, 1801) based on the analysis of three multigene families
Manuel A. Merlo,Ismael Cross,José Luis Palazón,José Luis Palazón,María Úbeda-Manzanaro,María Úbeda-Manzanaro,Carmen Sarasquete,Laureana Rebordinos +7 more
TL;DR: Molecular analysis of the 5S rDNA indicates that H. didactylus does not share the non-transcribed spacer (NTS) sequences with four other species of the Batrachoididae family; therefore, it must have evolved in isolation, and this finding opens a new perspective in fish evolution and in the knowledge of the dynamism of the5S r DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
De novo assembly, characterization and functional annotation of Senegalese sole ( Solea senegalensis ) and common sole ( Solea solea ) transcriptomes: integration in a database and design of a microarray

Merlo,David Mazurais,Rocío Bautista,Darío Guerrero-Fernández,Noe Fernandez-Pozo,Marian Ponce,Carlos Infante,Zambonino Jose,Sabine Nidelet,Marta Gut,Laureana Rebordinos,Josep V. Planas,Marie-Laure Bégout,M. Gonzalo Claros,Manuel Manchado +20 more
TL;DR: Transcriptomes and molecular markers identified in this study represent a valuable source for future genomic studies in these economically important species and will facilitate the management of genomic information in these important species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chromosomal mapping of the major and minor ribosomal genes, (GATA)n and U2 snRNA gene by double-colour FISH in species of the Batrachoididae family.
María Úbeda-Manzanaro,Manuel A. Merlo,José Luis Palazón,Ismael Cross,Carmen Sarasquete,Laureana Rebordinos +5 more
TL;DR: Dual-colour fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was performed to study the chromosomal distribution of 18S and 5S rDNAs, (GATA)n and 5s rDNA, and U2 snRNA and 18S rDNA in four species of Batrachoididae family and evolutive processes of these species are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of three multigene families as useful tools in species characterization of two closely-related species, Dicentrarchus labrax, Dicentrarchus punctatus and their hybrids.
TL;DR: By analyzing three multigene families, two closely related and commercially important species, Dicentrarchus labrax and DicentRarchus punctatus, were characterized by cytogenetic and molecular methods and the usefulness of the results in developing tools for phylogenetic analysis and species identification is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary Dynamics of rDNAs and U2 Small Nuclear DNAs in Triportheus (Characiformes, Triportheidae): High Variability and Particular Syntenic Organization.
Cassia Fernanda Yano,Luiz Antonio Carlos Bertollo,Laureana Rebordinos,Manuel A. Merlo,Thomas Liehr,Silvia Portela-Bens,Marcelo de Bello Cioffi +6 more
TL;DR: The variability in number of rDNA clusters, and the divergent syntenies for these three multigene families, put in evidence their evolutionary dynamism, revealing a much more complex organization of these genes than previously supposed for closely related species.
