Epigenetic DNA Modifications Are Correlated With B Chromosomes and Sex in the Cichlid Astatotilapia latifasciata

Supernumerary B chromosomes are dispensable elements found in several groups of eukaryotes, and their impacts in host organisms are not clear. The cichlid fish Astatotilapia latifasciata presents one or two large metacentric B chromosomes. These elements affect the transcription of several classes o...
