Repetitive DNA as a tool to study the phylogeny of cold-blooded vertebrates

  • Chapter
Chromosomes Today

Abstract

At the end of the 60s, when scientists found out that repetitive DNA sequences were part of the eukaryotic genomes [1, 2], they could not foresee that they would be very useful markers for molecular and cytogenetic analysis and to investigate the phylogenetic relationships between closely related species.
