Abstract

Small nuclear DNA (snDNA) are valuable cytogenetic markers for comparative studies in chromosome evolution because different distribution patterns were found among species. Parodontidae, a Neotropical fish family, is known to have female heterogametic sex chromosome systems in some species. The U2 and U4 snDNA sites have been found to be involved in Z and W chromosome differentiation in Apareiodon sp., Apareiodon affinis, and Parodon hilarii. However, few studies have evaluated snDNA sites as propulsors of chromosome diversification among closely related fish species. In this study, we investigated the distribution of U2 and U4 snDNA clusters in the chromosomes of 10 populations/species belonging to Apareiodon and Parodon, aiming to identify chromosomal homeologies or diversification. In situ localization data revealed a submetacentric pair carrying the U2 snDNA site among the populations/species analyzed. Furthermore, all studied species demonstrated homeology in the location of U4 snDNA cluster in the proximal region of metacentric pair 1, besides an additional signal showing up with a divergence in Apareiodon. Comparative chromosomal mapping of U4 snDNA also helped to reinforce the proposal of the ZZ/ZW1W2 sex chromosome system origin in an A. affinis population. According to cytogenetic data, the study corroborates the diversification in Parodontidae paired species with uncertain taxonomy.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 October 2023.
All research outputs
#14,403,185
of 25,394,764 outputs
Outputs from Zebrafish
#141
of 463 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#132,988
of 354,963 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Zebrafish
#2
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,394,764 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 463 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 354,963 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 62% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
