Satellite DNA represents one of the most fascinating parts of the repetitive fraction of the
eukaryotic genome. Since the discovery of highly repetitive tandem DNA in the 1960s, a lot …

Although it was nearly 70 years ago when transposable elements (TEs) were first
discovered “jumping” from one genomic location to another, TEs are now recognized as …

Satellite DNAs are now regarded as powerful and active contributors to genomic and
chromosomal evolution. Paired with mobile transposable elements, these repetitive …

The impact of transposable elements (TEs) on the evolution of the eukaryote genome has
been observed in a number of biological processes, such as the recruitment of the host's …

Amplification of monomer sequences into long contiguous arrays is the main feature
distinguishing satellite DNA from other tandem repeats, yet it is also the main obstacle in its …

Transposable elements (TEs) and satellite DNAs (satDNAs) are typically identified as major
repetitive DNA components in eukaryotic genomes. TEs are DNA segments able to move …

Centromeres are the basic unit for chromosome inheritance, but their evolutionary dynamics
is poorly understood. We generate high-quality reference genomes for multiple Drosophila …

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

Y chromosomes across diverse species convergently evolve a gene-poor, heterochromatic
organization enriched for duplicated genes, LTR retrotransposons, and satellite DNA …

Satellite DNA (satDNA) is a fast‐evolving portion of eukaryotic genomes. The homogeneous
and repetitive nature of such satDNA causes problems during the assembly of genomes …
