Distribution of Interstitial Telomeric Sequences in Primates and the Pygmy Tree Shrew (Scandentia).

2017

It has been hypothesized that interstitial telomeric sequences (ITSs), i.e., repeated telomeric DNA sequences found at intrachromosomal sites in many vertebrates, could be correlated to chromosomal rearrangements and plasticity. To test this hypothesis, we hybridized a telomeric PNA probe through FISH on representative species of 2 primate infraorders, Strepsirrhini (<i>Lemur catta, Otolemur garnettii, Nycticebus coucang</i>) and Catarrhini (<i>Erythrocebus patas, Cercopithecus petaurista, Chlorocebus aethiops, Colobus guereza</i>), as well as on 1 species of the order Scandentia, <i>Tupaia minor</i>, used as an outgroup for primates in phylogenetic recon…
