Consequences of polyploidy and divergence as revealed by cytogenetic mapping of repetitive elements in African clawed frogs (Xenopus, Pipidae)
Abstract
Repetitive elements have multiple copies in a genome and have been identified in several amphibian genomes using whole genome sequencing, but few studies have used cytogenetic mapping to visualize these elements in this vertebrate group. Here we compared the numbers and positions of repetitive elements in diploid and tetraploid species of the genus Xenopus, specifically between the diploid Xenopus tropicalis and its close allotetraploid …
