Evolutionary Dynamics of the Repetitive DNA in the Karyotypes of Pipa carvalhoi and Xenopus tropicalis (Anura, Pipidae)

Evolutionary Dynamics of the Repetitive DNA in the Karyotypes of Pipa carvalhoi and Xenopus tropicalis (Anura, Pipidae)

The large amphibian genomes contain numerous repetitive DNA components that have played an important role in the karyotypic diversification of this vertebrate group. Hypotheses based on the presumable primitive karyotype (2n = 20) of the anurans of the family Pipidae suggest that they have evolved p...
