Biologist and PhD in genetics from the São Paulo State University - UNESP. Currently, he is a postdoctoral fellow at the National Institutes of Health (USA) under the supervision of Dr. Takashi Akera, focusing on meiotic drive of selfish chromosomes in rodents. He carried out part of his master's, doctoral and postdoctoral research at the University of Granada, Spain. Develops collaborations with the Laboratory of Biology and Genetics of Fish (UNESP-Botucatu), Laboratory of Fish Genetics (UNESP-Bauru), Laboratory of Genetics in Aquaculture and Conservation (CAUNESP-Jaboticabal), Laboratory of Evolutionary Genetics (UFSCAR-São Carlos), Sanger Institute (UK) and Uppsala University (Sweden).

About 15% of eukaryotic organisms have extra chromosomes to the standard A complement called B chromosomes. These elements have long been considered as inert and poor elements in protein-coding genes. However, recent works have demonstrated the transcription of sequences from B chromosomes. Astyanax fish genus is an interesting model for the study of the origin and evolution of the B chro…
Very recently, the power of next-generation sequencing (NGS) began to be applied to research on supernumerary chromosomes (B) of different organisms. However, this technology has not been applied to the B chromosomes in fish. Results of the Laboratory of Fish Biology and Genetics (IB/UNESP/Botucatu) show that a population of Astyanax paranae the Capivara river, Tietê River basin, has a la…
B chromosomes are genomic elements extra to the standard chromosome complement and occur in many organisms. They may have different origins, including the derivation of autosomal chromosomes and sex chromosomes and even as resulting from crosses between species. The molecular mechanisms that govern the evolution of these segments resemble those of univalent sex chromosomes and may involve…
Very recently the power of next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis began to be applied to research on supernumerary or B chromosomes of different organisms. However, this technology has not been yet applied to the B chromosomes found in fish species.

B chromosomes are extra genomic elements to the standard chromosome complement and occur in many organisms. They may have different origins, including derivation of autosomes or sex chromosomes and even as a result of interspecific crosses. The molecular mechanisms that drive the evolution of these segments resemble those of univalent sex chromosomes and may involve gene silencing, hetero…
