SUMMARY: The genetic differentiation of Solea solea and Solea senegalensis from several estuarine systems along the Portuguese coast was studied. Nine polymorphic isozyme loci (ACP-1*, ACP-2*, GPI-1*, GPI-2*, sMDH*, ME-1*, ME- 2*, MPI* and PGM*) were analysed using starch gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing. Differentiation between the species was high (mean average Nei distance of 0.93). The most efficient loci in the diagnosis of the two species were ACP- 1*, ME-2* and GPI-2*. S. solea showed a higher genetic diversity than S. senegalensis. Within each species a low genetic differentiation between the samples analysed was found. Although with a low magnitude the interpopulational genetic dif- ferentiation of S. solea was higher than that of S. senegalensis. This could probably be explained by some particularities of the life cycles of these species, namely the more extended period of occurrence of larval stages of S.

  • Evidence for a Robertsonian Fusion in Solea Senegalensis (Kaup, 1858) Revealed by Zoo- FISH and Comparative Genome Analysis Aglaya García-Angulo1, Manuel A
    García-Angulo et al. BMC Genomics (2018) 19:818 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-018-5216-6 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Evidence for a Robertsonian fusion in Solea senegalensis (Kaup, 1858) revealed by zoo- FISH and comparative genome analysis Aglaya García-Angulo1, Manuel A. Merlo1, Silvia Portela-Bens1, María E. Rodríguez1, Emilio García1, Ahmed Al-Rikabi2, Thomas Liehr2 and Laureana Rebordinos1* Abstract Background: Solea senegalensis (Kaup, 1858) is a commercially important flatfish species, belonging to the Pleuronectiformes order. The taxonomy of this group has long been controversial, and the karyotype of the order presents a high degree of variability in diploid number, derived from chromosomal rearrangements such as Robertsonian fusions. Previously it has been proposed that the large metacentric chromosome of S. senegalensis arises from this kind of chromosome rearrangement and that this is a proto-sex chromosome. Results: In this work, the Robertsonian origin of the large metacentric chromosome of S. senegalensis has been tested by the Zoo-FISH technique applied to two species of the Soleidae family (Dicologlossa cuneata and Dagetichthys lusitanica), and by comparative genome analysis with Cynoglossus semilaevis. From the karyotypic analysis we were able to determine a chromosome complement comprising 2n = 50 (FN = 54) in D. cuneata and 2n = 42 (FN = 50) in D. lusitanica. The large metacentric painting probe gave consistent signals in four acrocentric chromosomes of the two Soleidae species; and the genome analysis proved a common origin with four chromosome pairs of C. semilaevis.Asa result of the genomic analysis, up to 61 genes were annotated within the thirteen Bacterial Artificial Chromosome clones analysed.
