To date, the chromosomes of 210 species of fresh-water fishes have been studied in China. They are principally cyprinids. Based upon the karyotypic data so far obtained mainly by the authors' laboratory, a report is here submitted on the karyosystematics of Chinese cyprinid fishes.The primitive karyotype of cyprinid fishes may be inferred as being 2n = 50. During phyletic evolution the cyprinid fishes probably have been differentiated into two large branches, one of which with the Leuciscinae as a basic group and another branch with the Barbinae as a basic group. As to the modes of their chromosome evolution, Robertsonian translocation seems to be prominent in the first branch, whereas polyploidization appears to be prominent in the second branch. Based on the chromosome studies in cyprinid fishes, some tentative ideas about the classification of the subfamilies in Cyprinidae are presented.A table containing the karyotypes of Chinese fresh-water fishes is attached.
We present an available and cost-effective method for producing both digital resources and printed models. The choice of modality in medical images and the processing approach is important when reproducing soft tissue organs models. The accuracy of the printed model is determined by the quality of organ models and 3DP. With the ongoing improvement of printing techniques and the variety of materials available, 3DP will become an indispensable tool in medical training and surgical planning.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
