Evidence of two centromeres in the germline-restricted chromosome (GRC): insights from zebra finch lampbrush chromosomes

2026-07-17

Abstract excerpt

The germline-restricted chromosome (GRC) of the zebra finch Taeniopygia guttata represents a well-established model of programmed DNA elimination in vertebrates. Although the DNA composition of the GRC, as well as elimination processes during spermatogenesis and early embryogenesis, have been characterised previously, little is known about the cytogenetic features underlying its unusual behaviour, including its s...
