Background: Chromosome aberrations (CA) are the main etiology of multiple congenital malformations, recurrent abortions and intellectual disability (ID) specifically of moderate and severe degree. They account for 0.3 to ...

Background: The availability of a large number of recently sequenced vertebrate genomes opens new avenues to integrate cytogenetics and genomics in comparative and evolutionary studies. Cytogenetic mapping can offer ...

Triatomines are of great concern in public health because they are vectors of Chagas' disease. This study presents an analysis of the species Triatoma melanosoma. The cytogenetic characteristics of triatomines include ...

The structure of the heterochromatic bands in mitotic chromosomes of the important tropical aquaculture species of tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, was investigated by the combination of the C-banding technique, chromosomal ...

The mapping of repetitive DNA sites by fluorescence in situ hybridization has been widely used for karyotype studies in different species of fish, especially when dealing with related species or even genera presenting high ...

Cytogenetics can be a useful tool to assist in taxonomic problems by adding information to the widely used morphological and molecular approaches. These taxonomic problems are especially common in anurans, once they are ...

Cervids are characterized by their greatest karyotypic diversity among mammals. A great diversity of chromosome numbers in notably similar morphological groups leads to the existence of several complexes of cryptic species ...
