Solea senegalensis aquaculture production has experienced a great increase in the last decade and, consequently, the genome knowledge of the species is gaining attention. In this sense, obtaining a high-density genome mapping of the species could offer clues to the aquaculture improvement in those aspects not resolved so far. In the present article...
Knowing the factors responsible for sex determination in a species has significant theoretical and practical implications; the dmrt1 gene (Doublesex and Mab-3 (DM)-related Transcription factor 1) plays this role in diverse animal species. Solea senegalensis is a commercially important flat fish in which females grow 30% faster than males. It has 2n...
Repetitive sequences play an essential role in the structural and functional evolution of the genome, particularly in the sexual chromosomes. The Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) is a valuable flatfish in aquaculture albeit few studies have addressed the mapping and characterization of repetitive DNA families. Here we analyzed the Simple Sequen...
Background
Solea senegalensis (Kaup, 1858) is a commercially important flatfish species, belonging to the Pleuronectiformes order. The taxonomy of this group has long been controversial, and the karyotype of the order presents a high degree of variability in diploid number, derived from chromosomal rearrangements such as Robertsonian fusions. Previ...
The gross karyotypes of Ctenolabrus rupestris and Symphodus ocellatus are described. Both have 2n = 48 with an NF of 74. A synoptic study of karyotype reports for 50 species of labrids presents evidence supporting a main karyoevolutive trend in the family towards an increase in the NF, presumably by means of pericentric inversions.
The karyotypes of the Mediterranean blenniid species: Blennius gattorugine, B. ponticus incognitus, B. pavo, B. sanguinolentus, B. galerita, B. trigloides and B. pholis were analyzed by means of conventional, silver staining and C-banding techniques. All have shown 2n=48, except B. pholis with 2n=46, while the NF varies from 54 to 72. Only two NORs...
The karyotypes of two morphologically similar species,Scorpaena porcus andS. notata, were analyzed by means of silver staining and C-banding techniques. The variation in their DNA values (S. porcus = 0.92 pg andS. notata = 0.56 pg) is positively related to the variation in chromosome number and to the amount of C-banded heterochromatin. Only
