Large DAPI- and PI-positive bands observed at pericentromeric regions of chromosome 9 and 4, respectively. Large C-positive heterochromatin bands coincide with PI-positive bands. 18S–28S rRNA genes detected at pericentromeric region of chromosome 4. TTAGGG repeats signals observed at telomeric ends of all chromosomes, but no inter­stitial signal.

Suntronpong A, Thapana W, Twilprawat P, Prakhongcheep O, Somyong S, Muangmai N, Peyachoknagul S, Srikulnath K (2017). Karyological characterization and identification of four repetitive element groups (the 18S – 28S rRNA gene, telomeric sequences, microsatellite repeat motifs, Rex retroelements) of the Asian swamp eel (Monopterus albus).
