Emergence of satellite DNAs suggests centromeric repositioning as a driver of karyotypic variation of the freshwater darter characines (Apareiodon affinis) | Chromosome Research | Springer Nature Link
Repetitive DNA sequences actively contribute to karyotype diversification by accumulating mutations, exhibiting susceptibility to DNA double-strand breaks that promote chromosomal rearrangements, and reshuffling within centromeric heterochromatin, among other processes. Parodontidae shows a conserve...
