Telomeric sequences distribution in nine Neotropical primates (Platyrrhinae) by (TTAGGG)n probe mapping: interstitial location and their possible rol…

2015

Platyrrhini are characterized by a high intra and intergeneric genome variability. This genome variability due to intra and inter-chromosomal rearrangements occurred during evolution could be possibly link to the involvement of telomeric and heterochromatin sequences. Telomeres, the terminal regions of chromosomes, constituted of particular repeated DNA sequences (TTAGGG)n and proteins, are called true telomeres and have their role in determining the replication and the stability of chromosomes. The DNA component of telomeres can be also found at intra-chromosomal sites such as close the centromeres and between centromere and telomeres, and are known as Interstitial Telomeric Sequences (ITS…
