Article Synopsis
- Tetraodon nigroviridis has one of the smallest vertebrate genomes, making it an important model for researching genome structure and evolution.
- Previous research indicates that over 10% of the genome consists of tandem and dispersed repeats, which are specifically located in heterochromatic regions of the chromosome.
- The study also found numerous pseudogenes linked to gene duplication and retro-transcription, often clustered in the same areas as repeat elements, illustrating a unique pattern of genome organization that differs from larger vertebrate genomes like those of mammals.
