Repetitive sequences: the hidden diversity of heterochromatin in prochilodontid fish

The structure and organization of repetitive elements in fish genomes are still relatively poorly understood, although most of these elements are believed to be located in heterochromatic regions. Repetitive elements are considered essential in evolutionary processes as hotspots for mutations and ch...
