Chromosomal mapping of histone multigene family in Hypancistrus zebra & H. sp. "Pão"

Moderator's note: I've never heard of Hypancistrus sp. `Pão`. However, a simple Google search seems to indicate that this common name is used for

Dos Santos, C.E.V., Almeida, B.R.R.D., Tavares, F.D.S., Frade, L.F.D.S., Cardoso, A.L., de Sá, A.L.A., Nagamachi, C.Y., de Sousa, L.M., Pieczarka, J.C. & R.C.R. Noronha. (2023). Chromosomal Mapping of the Histone Multigene Family and U2 snRNA in Hypancistrus Species (Siluriformes, Loricariidae) from the Brazilian Amazon. Zebrafish, 20(1), 28-36.

Abstract
Loricariidae (Siluriformes) comprises ∼1026 species of neotropical fish, being considered the most diverse among the Siluriformes. Studies on repetitive DNA sequences have provided important data on the evolution of the genomes of members of this family, especially of the Hypostominae subfamily. In this study, the chromosomal mapping of the histone multigene family and U2 snRNA was performed in two species belonging to the genus, Hypancistrus sp. “pão” (2n = 52, 22m + 18sm +12st) and (2n = 52, 16m + 20sm +16st). The presence of dispersed signals of histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 in the karyotype of both species, with each sequence displaying a varied level of accumulation and dispersion of these sequences between them was observed; in addition, U2 snDNA probe only showed positive results in H. zebra, which present this multigene in the terminal region of three chromosomal pairs. The obtained results resemble data already analyzed in the literature, in which the action of transposable elements interfere in the organization of these multigene families, in addition to other evolutionary processes that shape the evolution of the genome, such as circular or ectopic recombination. This study also shows that the dispersion of the multigene histone family is quite complex, and from this, these data serve as a point of discussion for the evolutionary processes that occur in the Hypancistrus karyotype.

It's L066 too.
