Three recent sex chromosome-to-autosome fusions in a <i>Drosophila virilis</i> strain with high satellite content

2021-06-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The karyotype, or number and arrangement of chromosomes, has varying levels of stability across both evolution and disease. Karyotype changes often originate from DNA breaks near the centromeres of chromosomes, which generally contain long arrays of tandem repeats or satellite DNA. Drosophila virilis possesses among the highest relative satellite abundances of studied species, with almost half...
