Repetitive sequences: The hidden diversity of heterochromatin in prochilodontid...
Terêncio, Maria Leandra; Schneider, Carlos Henrique; Gross, Maria Claudia; Carmo, Edson Júnior do; Nogaroto, Viviane; Almeida, Mara Cristina deThe structure and organization of repetitive elements in fish genomes are still relatively poorly understood, although most of these elements are believed to be located in heterochromatic regions. Repetitive elements are considered essential in evolutionary processes as hotspots for mutations and chromosomal rearrangements, among other functions - thus providing new genomic alternatives and regulatory sites for...
Evolutionary dynamics of retrotransposable elements Rex1, Rex3 and Rex6 in neot...
Schneider, Carlos Henrique; Gross, Maria Claudia; Terêncio, Maria Leandra; Carmo, Edson Júnior do; Martins, Cesar Henrique Rossinoli; Feldberg, ElianaBackground: Transposable elements (TEs) have the potential to produce broad changes in the genomes of their hosts, acting as a type of evolutionary toolbox and generating a collection of new regulatory and coding sequences. Several TE classes have been studied in Neotropical cichlids; however, the information gained from these studies is restricted to the physical chromosome mapping, whereas the genetic diversi...
