B chromosome in the beetle Coprophanaeus cyanescens (Scarabaeidae): emphasis in the organization of repetitive DNA sequences
Abstract Background To contribute to the knowledge of coleopteran Stress Relief cytogenetics, especially with respect to the genomic content of B chromosomes, we analyzed the composition and organization of repetitive DNA sequences in the Coprophanaeus cyanescens karyotype.We used conventional staining and the application of fluorescence in situ hy
