Morphologically differentiated sex chromosomes in neotropical freshwater fish
(2001-12-01)
A general survey of the occurrence of morphologically differentiated sex chromosomes in the neotropical freshwater fishes is presented. The total number of 32 occurrences involving simple XX-XY and ZZ-ZW, and multiple ...
Chromosome painting of Z and W sex chromosomes in Characidium (Characiformes, Crenuchidae)
(2013-01-24)
Some species of the genus Characidium have heteromorphic ZZ/ZW sex chromosomes with a totally heterochromatic W chromosome. Methods for chromosome microdissection associated with chromosome painting have become important ...

Cytogenetic characterization of a supernumerary chromosome segment and of B-chromosomes in Astyanax scabripinnis (Teleostei, Characidae)
(Kluwer Academic Publ, 2000-01-01)
The chromosome complement of a local population of Astyanax scabripinnis in Brazil was investigated with emphasis on the study of the heterochromatin attached to the A-chromosomes and present in the macro B-chromosome. ...

A method for chromosome preparations from large fish specimens using in vitro short-term treatment with colchicine
(Birkhauser Verlag Ag, 1993-09-15)
This paper describes a new technique for preparing mitotic fish chromosomes using short-term in vitro treatment with colchicine. The results show that a large number of good quality metaphases (many suitable for chromosome ...
Increased B chromosome frequency and absence of drive in the fish Prochilodus lineatus
(1997-11-01)
The neotropical freshwater fish species Prochilodus lineatus (Pisces, Prochilodontidae) shows 2n = 54 chromosomes plus supernumerary microchromosomes ranging in number from zero to seven among different animals. The ...
Cytogenetic characterization of distinct B chromosomes in a population of the fish Astyanax bockmanni (Teleostei, Characiformes)
(Univ Florence Botany Inst, 2012-01-01)
Individuals of Astyanax bockmanni from one population belonging to the Paranapanema River basin, southeastern Brazil, were cytogenetically examined. In the present paper, we report a diploid number of 50 chromosomes, with ...
Heteromorphic Sex Chromosomes and Their DNA Content in Fish: An Insight through Satellite DNA Accumulation in Megaleporinus elongatus
(Karger, 2020-04-01)
The repetitive DNA content of fish sex chromosomes provides valuable insights into specificities and patterns of their genetic sex determination systems. In this study, we revealed the genomic satellite DNA (satDNA) content ...
