Divergent subgenome evolution in the allotetraploid frog Xenopus calcaratus
Abstract
Allopolyploid genomes are divided into compartments called subgenomesthat are derived from lower ploidy ancestors. In African clawed frogsof the subgenus Xenopus (genus Xenopus), allotetraploid species havetwo subgenomes (L and S) with morphologically distinct homoeol-ogous chromosomes. In allotetraploid species of the sister subgenusSilurana, independently evolved subgenomes also exist, but their cytogenetics have not been investigated in …
