title: Replication banding in two Mediterranean moray eels: chromosomal characterization and comparison.
abstract: Early and late replication bandings have been obtained by in vitro BrdU incorporation in the Mediterranean Muraenidae species Muraena helena and Gymnothorax unicolor, and used to characterize their karyotypes. A comparative analysis of the banding patterns allowed to point out high karyotype similarity as well as chromosome rearrangements that occurred in karyotype evolution between these species.
