Interstitial hybridization sites of the (TTAGGG)n telomeric sequence on the chromosomes of some North American hylid frogs

Abstract
Interstitial hybridization sites for the (TTAGGG)n telomeric repeat sequence were present in all seven species of hylid frogs examined and in a triploid hybrid between two of the species. Intra- and interspecific differences and similarities in hybridization sites agreed with what is known about the systematics of these species. Chromosome fusions, fissions, and inversions do not appear to have played a role in the evolution of the interstitial sites for the telomeric repeat in the species examined.
