      Kretschmer, Rafael; Furo, Ivanete de Oliveira; Gomes, Anderson José Baia; Kiazim, Lucas Gem; Gunski, Ricardo José; Garnero, Analía del Valle; Pereira, Jorge C.; Smith, Malcolm A. Fergunson; Oliveira, Edivaldo Herculano Corrêa; Griffin, Darren K.; Freitas, Thales Renato Ochotorena de; O’Connor, Rebecca E. (2020) [Artigo de periódico]
      The Columbidae species (Aves, Columbiformes) show considerable variation in their diploid numbers (2n = 68–86), but there is limited understanding of the events that shaped the extant karyotypes. Hence, we performed whole ...
    • Interspecies chromosome mapping in Caprimulgiformes, Piciformes, Suliformes, and Trogoniformes (Aves): cytogenomic insight into microchromosome organization and karyotype evolution in birds 

      Kretschmer, Rafael; Souza, Marcelo Santos de; Furo, Ivanete de Oliveira; Michael N. Romanov; Gunski, Ricardo José; Garnero, Analía del Valle; Freitas, Thales Renato Ochotorena de; Oliveira, Edivaldo Herculano Corrêa; O’Connor, Rebecca E.; Griffin, Darren K. (2021) [Artigo de periódico]
      Interchromosomal rearrangements involving microchromosomes are rare events in birds. To date, they have been found mostly in Psittaciformes, Falconiformes, and Cuculiformes, although only a few orders have been analyzed. ...
    • Karyotype organization of the endangered species yellow cardinal (Gubernatrix cristata) 

      Bulau, Sandra Eloisa; Kretschmer, Rafael; Furo, Ivanete de Oliveira; Oliveira, Edivaldo Herculano Corrêa; Freitas, Thales Renato Ochotorena de (2021) [Artigo de periódico]
      Karyotypic analyses have several applications in studies of chromosome organization, evolution, and cytotaxonomy. They are also essential to genome assembly projects. Here, we present for the first time the karyotype ...
    • Repetitive DNAs and shrink genomes: a chromosomal analysis in nine Columbidae species (Aves, Columbiformes) 

      Kretschmer, Rafael; Oliveira, Thays Duarte de; Furo, Ivanete de Oliveira; Silva, Fabio Augusto Oliveira; Gunski, Ricardo José; Garnero, Analía del Valle; Cioffi, Marcelo de Bello; Oliveira, Edivaldo Herculano Corrêa; Freitas, Thales Renato Ochotorena de (2018) [Artigo de periódico]
      An extensive karyotype variation is found among species belonging to the Columbidae family of birds (Columbiformes), both in diploid number and chromosomal morphology. Although clusters of repetitive DNA sequences play an ...
