Genomic dispersion of 28S rDNA during karyotypic evolution in the ant genus Myrmecia (Formicidae)

H Hirai1, M T Yamamoto, R W Taylor, H T Imai.   

Abstract

The chromosomal localization of 28S rDNA was investigated in 16 speices of the Australian ant genus Myrmecia, with 2n numbers ranging from 4 to 76, using the fluorescence in situ hybridization method and karyographic analysis. A unique phenomenon was observed: the number of chromosomes carrying 28S rDNA increases from 2 in species with low chromosome numbers to 19 in species with high chromosome numbers. This is termed rDNA dispersion. Centric fission and a reciprocal translocation that occurs in C-bands were detected as the major mechanisms involved in rDNA dispersion.
