Chromosomal distribution of microsatellite repeats in Amazon cichlids genome (Pisces, Cichlidae)
Fish of the family Cichlidae are recognized as an excellent model for evolutionary studies because of their morphological and behavioral adaptations to a wide diversity of explored ecological niches. In addition, the family has a dynamic genome with variable structure, composition and karyotype organization. Microsatellites represent the most dynamic genomic component and a better understanding...
متن کاملChromosomal variability in the wild ornamental species of Symphysodon (Perciformes: Cichlidae) from Amazon
Cytogenetic studies were conducted on three discus species which inhabit the Amazon in Brazil: Symphysodon haraldi from Manacapuru, S. aequifasciatus from Tefé and S. discus from Barcelos. All individuals showed 2n=60 chromosomes, most of them biarmed. No sexual chromosomal heteromorphism was verified. However, different karyotypic formulae, owing to the presence of subtelocentric chromosomes, ...
متن کامل[Larval development of Hypsophrys nicaraguensis (Pisces: Cichlidae) under laboratory conditions].
The cichlid Hypsophrys nicaraguensis is a popular fish known as butterfly, and despite its widespread use as pets, little is known about its reproductive biology. In order to contribute to this knowledge, the study describes the relevant larval development characteristics, from adult and larval cultures in captivity. Every 12h, samples of larvae were collected and observed under the microscope ...
متن کاملMetacercariae of Centrocestus formosanus (Trematoda: Heterophyidae) in Australoheros facetus (Pisces: Cichlidae) in Brazil Metacercárias de Centrocestus formosanus (Trematoda: Heterophyidae) em Australoheros facetus (Pisces: Cichlidae) no Brasil
Heterophyid metacercariae were found in the gills of Australoheros facetus (Jenyns, 1842) collected from the Pampulha reservoir, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, between February and April 2010. The cysts were counted and used to perform experimental studies (artificial excystment and infection of mice). Fifty specimens of A. facetus were analyzed and it was found that the prevalence of in...
متن کاملDifferential distribution of simple sequence repeats in eukaryotic genome sequences.
Complete chromosome/genome sequences available from humans, Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorhabditis elegans, Arabidopsis thaliana, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were analyzed for the occurrence of mono-, di-, tri-, and tetranucleotide repeats. In all of the genomes studied, dinucleotide repeat stretches tended to be longer than other repeats. Additionally, tetranucleotide repeats in humans and t...
