Comparative Cytogenetics of the Congo African Grey Parrot (Psittacus erithacus).

abstract：:Transposable elements are disproportionately abundant in the heterochromatin of Drosophila melanogaster. Among the forces contributing to this bias in genomic distribution, fixation due to positive selection has been put forward. We have studied I-related elements which are located in pericentromeric heterochromatin a...
