Molecular Cytogenetics: Karyotype evolution, Phylogenomics and Future Prospects

There are a number of pressing problems to understand in depth the various mechanisms underlying evolutionary processes of both animal and plant species. For instance, there are instances in which chromosomal rearrangements are not reflected in the morphology of a species. Holocarpha virgata of the Asteraceae family is a glaring example of this type.  In a special iss
