Chromosomal Rearrangements and Satellite DNAs: Extensive Chromosome Reshuffling and the Evolution of Neo-Sex Chromosomes in the Genus <i>Pyrrhulina</i> (Teleostei; Characiformes)

Chromosomal Rearrangements and Satellite DNAs: Extensive Chromosome Reshuffling and the Evolution of Neo-Sex Chromosomes in the Genus <i>Pyrrhulina</i> (Teleostei; Characiformes)

Chromosomal rearrangements play a significant role in the evolution of fish genomes, being important forces in the rise of multiple sex chromosomes and in speciation events. Repetitive DNAs constitute a major component of the genome and are frequently found in heterochromatic regions, where satellit...
