According to the established classical view, satellite DNAs are defined as abundant non-
coding DNA sequences repeated in tandem that build long arrays located in …

Satellite DNAs (satDNAs) are highly repeated tandem sequences primarily located in
heterochromatin, although their occurrence in euchromatin has been reported. Here, our …

Tandem repeats are important parts of eukaryotic genomes being crucial eg, for centromere
and telomere function and chromatin modulation. In Lepidoptera, knowledge of tandem …

The red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, is the most harmful species among those
pests affecting palm trees. Its impact causes important economic losses around the World …

The triatomine Rhodnius prolixus is the main vector of Chagas disease in countries such as
Colombia and Venezuela, and the first kissing bug whose genome has been sequenced …

Main conclusions While two lineages of retrotransposons were more abundant in larger
Passiflora genomes, the satellitome was more diverse and abundant in the smallest genome …

The genome of Triatoma delpontei Romaña & Abalos 1947 is the largest within Heteroptera,
approximately two to three times greater than other evaluated Heteroptera genomes. Here …

Satellite DNAs (satDNA) are fast-evolving repetitive sequences organized in large tandem
arrays, with characteristic enrichment in heterochromatin. Knowledge about evolutionary …

In the genus Talpa a new species, named Talpa aquitania, has been recently described.
Only cytogenetic data are available for the nuclear genome of this species. In this work, we …

Satellite DNAs (satDNAs) constitute one of the main components of eukaryote genomes and
are involved in chromosomal organization and diversification. Although largely studied, little …
