B-chromosome evolution.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 29 Feb 2000

Camacho J P, Sharbel T F, Beukeboom L W

Abstract excerpt

B chromosomes are extra chromosomes to the standard complement that occur in many organisms. They can originate in a number of ways including derivation from autosomes and sex chromosomes in intra- and interspecies crosses. Their subsequent molecular evolution resembles that of univalent sex chromosomes, which involves gene silencing, heterochromatinization and the accumulation of repetitive DNA and transposons....
