Independent evolution of satellite DNA sequences in homologous sex chromosomes of Neotropical armored catfish (Harttia)

Abstract The Neotropical armored catfish Harttia is a valuable model for studying sex chromosome evolution, featuring two independently evolved male-heterogametic systems. This study examined satellitomes—sets of satellite DNAs—from four Amazonian species: H. duriventris (X1X2Y), H. rondoni (XY), H....
