Abstract

Currently, new molecular sequencing techniques have allowed the total genetic sequencing of five Chon- drichthyes species: elephant shark (Callorhinchus milii), whale shark (Rhincodon typus), brown banded bamboo shark (Chiloscyllium punctatum), cat shark (Scyliorhinus torazame) and white shark (Carcharhodon carcharias). These studies have shown that Chondrichthyes, in general have high genomic stability, and therefore have low molecular evolutionary rates. This high genomic stability contrasts significantly with the high variety of biological, morphological, ecological and ecophysiological cycles of the group. Current paper discusses the role of genomic stability in the evolution of the Chondrichthyes.
