Abstract excerpt
The brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) and the Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) represent different phylogenetic lines of the salmonid fish genus Salvelinus. Chromosome banding studies utilizing C, Q, and restriction enzymes reveal differences between the two species for the amount and sequence composition of their heterochromatic DNA. Arctic charr, the more recently evolved of the two species, possesses more C...
