A variant W chromosome in Centromochlus heckelii (Siluriformes, Auchenipteridae) and the role of repeated DNA in its heteromorphism

Abstract Centromochlus heckelii has the lowest diploid chromosome number (2n = 46) and the only described heteromorphic sex chromosome system in Auchenipteridae. This study presents a population of C. heckelii from the Central Amazon basin with subtle variations in the karyotype composition and a va...
