The B Chromosomes of <i>Prochilodus lineatus</i> (Teleostei, Characiformes) Are Highly Enriched in Satellite DNAs

B or supernumerary chromosomes are dispensable elements that are widely present in numerous eukaryotes. Due to their non-recombining nature, there is an evident tendency for repetitive DNA accumulation in these elements. Thus, satellite DNA plays an important role in the evolution and diversificatio...
