Journal ArticleDOI

Origin and Evolution of B Chromosomes in the Cichlid Fish Astatotilapia latifasciata Based on Integrated Genomic Analyses

TL;DR: A model in which the B chromosome originated early in the evolutionary history of Lake Victoria cichlid fish from a small fragment of one autosome is proposed, and intact B chromosome genes involved with microtubule organization, kinetochore structure, recombination and progression through the cell cycle may play a role in driving the transmission of the B chromosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Satellite DNA and chromosomes in Neotropical fishes: methods, applications and perspectives

TL;DR: The possible elimination of satellite DNA units could explain the genome compaction that occurs among some species of Neotropical Tetraodontiformes, and amplifications of satellite DNAs have demonstrated that these sequences are related to the differentiation of heteromorphic sex chromosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Colocalization of repetitive DNAs and silencing of major rRNA genes. A case report of the fish Astyanax janeiroensis.

TL;DR: Several chromosomal and karyotype markers are similar between A. janeiroensis and A. scabripinnis, indicating a close relationship between these species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Astyanax aff. fasciatus Cuvier, 1819 (Teleostei; Characidae): evidences of a species complex in the upper rio Tibagi basin (Paraná, Brazil)

TL;DR: The morphometric analyses of canonical variates indicate a consistent isolation of the Furna 2 sample, while the other samples seem to be superimposed, indicating a possible gene flow or even a recent isolation event in the studied region.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative cytogenetics among species of the Astyanax scabripinnis complex: evolutionary and biogeographical inferences

TL;DR: The hypothesis is that the karyotypic form A corresponds to the species A. paranae and forms B and C correspond to other species of the A. scabripinnis complex.
