Molecular divergence and genomic composition of B chromosomes in the fish Cyphocharax modestus (Characiformes, Curimatidae)

Abstract B chromosomes are supernumerary elements that evolve from standard A chromosomes and are primarily composed of repetitive DNAs, yet their origin, diversification, and molecular composition remain poorly understood in most vertebrates. We investigated two allopatric popul...
