Long-term persistence of supernumerary B chromosomes in multiple species of Astyanax fish

Abstract Background Eukaryote genomes frequently harbor supernumerary B chromosomes in addition to the “standard” A chromosome set. B chromosomes are thought to arise as byproducts of genome rearrangements and have mostly been considered intraspecific oddities. However, their evolutionary transcende...
