The red brocket deer Mazama americana Erxleben, 1777 is considered a polyphyletic
complex of cryptic species with wide chromosomal divergence. Evidence indicates that the …

Primary cell culture is a powerful model system to address fundamental questions about
organismal physiology at the cellular level, especially for species that are difficult, or …

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 …

Multiple sex chromosomes usually arise from chromosomal rearrangements which involve
ancestral sex chromosomes. There is a fundamental condition to be met for their long-term …

Tandemly arranged and dispersed repetitive DNA sequences are important structural and
functional elements that make up a significant portion of vertebrate genomes. Using high …

The family Cervidae is the second most diverse in the infraorder Pecora and is characterized
by variability in the diploid chromosome numbers among species. X chromosomes in …

The underlying processes behind the formation, evolution, and long-term maintenance of
multiple sex chromosomes have been largely neglected. Among vertebrates, fishes …

Eukaryotes have varying numbers and structures of characteristic chromosomes across
lineages or species. The evolutionary trajectory of species may have been affected by …

Vanellus (Charadriidae; Charadriiformes) comprises around 20 species commonly referred
to as lapwings. In this study, by integrating cytogenetic and genomic approaches, we …

Simple Summary The evolutionary origins and dynamics of sex chromosomes are among
the most challenging topics in the field of Evolutionary Biology. Despite ongoing research …
