Bioinformatic and fine-scale chromosomal mapping uncover the essence and evolution of eliminated chromosomes in the Japanese hagfish, <i>Eptatretus burgeri</i> , through repetitive DNA family analysis
2023-05-28
Abstract excerpt
In the Japanese hagfish, Eptatretus burgeri , approximately 21% of the genomic DNA in germ cells (2n=52) consists of 16 chromosomes (eliminated [E]-chromosomes) that are eliminated from presumptive somatic cells (2n=36). To uncover the eliminated genome (E-genome), we have identified 16 eliminated repetitive DNA families from eight hagfish species, with 11 of these repeats being selectively amplified in the germl...
