Non-canonical telomeric motif TTAGGGGTGG in the true bug species Geocoris dispar Waga, 1839 (Heteroptera, Geocoridae)
We report on the results of a chromosomal study of the big-eyed true bug <i>Geocorisdispar</i> Waga, 1839 (Heteroptera: Geocoridae) aimed at obtaining data on its telomeres. Using fluorescence <i>in situ</i> hybridization (FISH), we have shown, that <i>G.dispar</i> has a non-canonical 10-bp telomeric motif TTAGGGGTGG. This is the first evidence of telomere structure in the family Geocoridae and the first finding of the telomeric sequence (TTAGGGGTGG) <i><sub>n</sub></i> in the large superfamily Lygaeoidea (infraorder Pentatomomorpha).
