Evolutionary Variability of W-Linked Repetitive Content in Lacertid Lizards

Evolutionary Variability of W-Linked Repetitive Content in Lacertid Lizards

Lacertid lizards are a widely radiated group of squamate reptiles with long-term stable ZZ/ZW sex chromosomes. Despite their family-wide homology of Z-specific gene content, previous cytogenetic studies revealed significant variability in the size, morphology, and heterochromatin distribution of the...
