Physical mapping of repetitive DNA families in the karyotypes of fish is important to understand the organization and evolution of different orders, families, genera, or species. Fish in the genus Imparfinis show diverse karyotypes with various diploid numbers and ribosomal DNA (rDNA) locations. Here we isolated and characterized Tc1-mariner nucleotide sequences from Imparfinis schubarti, and mapped their locations together with 18S rDNA, 5S rDNA, and microsatellite probes in Imparfinis borodini and I. schubarti chromosomes. The physical mapping of Tc1/Mariner on chromosomes revealed dispersed signals in heterochromatin blocks with small accumulations in the terminal and interstitial regions of I. borodini and I. schubarti. Tc1/Mariner was coincident with rDNA chromosomes sites in both species, suggesting that this transposable element may have participated in the dispersion and evolution of these sequences in the fish genome. Our analysis suggests that different transposons and microsatellites have accumulated in the I. borodini and I. schubarti genomes and that the distribution patterns of these elements may be related to karyotype evolution within Imparfinis.
