Pairing of homologous chromosomes results in the formation of 34 synaptonemal complexes (SC) at pachytene, corresponding to the 34 bivalents at metaphase I. No multivalent associations were observed and pairing occurs two-by-two. The modified SC, which lacks a central element, does not affect the pairing process. Only one end of the SC is attached to the nuclear envelope, although either end can attach. Total SC length and the number of recombination nodules in the tetraploid were about 1.5 times greater than in the diploid.

In the Amazon, some species of Loricariidae are at risk of extinction due to habitat loss and overexploitation by the ornamental fish market. Cytogenetic data related to the karyotype and meiotic cycle can contribute to understanding the reproductive biology and help management and conservation programs of these fish. Additionally, chromosomal mapping of repetitive DNA in Loricariidae may aid comparative genomic studies in this family.

Poplar was one of the first woody species whose individual chromosomes could be identified using chromosome specific painting probes. Nevertheless, high-resolution karyotype construction remains a challenge. Here, we developed a karyotype based on the meiotic pachytene chromosome of which is a Chinese native species with many excellent traits.

Recently developed bulked oligo-FISH is a highly versatile method, which is applicable in any plant species with an assembled genome sequence. This technique allows in situ identification of individual chromosomes, large chromosomal rearrangements, comparative karyotype analysis, or even the reconstruction of the three-dimensional organization of the genome. The method is based on the identification of thousands of short oligonucleotides, unique to specific genome regions, which are synthesized in parallel, fluorescently labeled and used as probes for FISH.

Closely related mammalian species often have differences in chromosome number and morphology, but there is still a debate about how these differences relate to reproductive isolation. To study the role of chromosome rearrangements in speciation, we used the gray voles in the genus as a model. These voles have a high level of chromosome polymorphism and substantial karyotypic divergence.

Amongst the 460 karyotypes of Polyphagan Coleoptera that we studied, 50 (10.8%) were carriers of an X autosome rearrangement. In addition to mitotic metaphase analysis, the correct diagnosis was performed on meiotic cells, principally at the pachytene stage.
