The Drosophila buzzatii cluster is composed of seven cactophilic species and their known
geographical distribution encompasses the open vegetation diagonal, which includes the …

Abstract Satellite DNAs (SatDNA) are ubiquitously present in eukaryotic genomes and have
been recently associated with several biological roles. Understanding the evolution and …

We aimed to study patterns of variation and factors influencing the evolutionary dynamics of
a satellite DNA, pBuM, in all seven Drosophila species from the buzzatii cluster (repleta …

Eukaryote genomes are replete with repetitive DNAs. This class includes tandemly repeated
satellite DNAs (satDNA) which are among the most abundant, fast evolving (yet poorly …

The fact that satellite DNAs (satDNAs) in eukaryotes are abundant genomic components,
can perform functional roles, but can also change rapidly across species while being …

The pBuM189 satellite DNA was analysed in Drosophila buzzatii populations that cover
most of the species distribution in South America. This satDNA consists of A+ T‐rich …

The pBuM satellite DNA family was studied in seven Drosophila species from the buzzatii
cluster (within the large Drosophila repleta group). The pBuM repeats are slightly AT-rich …

Satellite repeat elements are an abundant component of eukaryotic genomes, but not
enough is known about their evolutionary dynamics and their involvement in karyotype and …

The genome of species from the buzzatii cluster (buzzatii complex, repleta group) is hosted
by a number of satellite DNAs (satDNAs) showing contrasting structural characteristics …

Abstract A Hpa I satellite DNA has been isolated and characterised from the genome of
Drosophila seriema, a cactus-breeding species endemic to the rock fields of the Espinhaço …
