Revealing the Satellite DNA History in Psalidodon and Astyanax Characid Fish by Comparative Satellitomics [PDF]
Eukaryotic genomes are usually enriched in repetitive DNA sequences, which can be classified as dispersed or tandemly repeated elements. Satellite DNAs are noncoding monomeric sequences organized in a head-to-tail fashion that are generally located on ...
