Conservation of Major Satellite DNAs in Snake Heterochromatin

open access: yesAnimals, 2023
Repetitive DNA sequences constitute a sizeable portion of animal genomes, and tandemly organized satellite DNAs are a major part of them. They are usually located in constitutive heterochromatin clusters in or near the centromeres or telomeres, and less ...

Stretching the Rules: Monocentric Chromosomes with Multiple Centromere Domains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The centromere is a functional chromosome domain that is essential for faithful chromosome segregation during cell division and that can be reliably identified by the presence of the centromere-specific histone H3 variant CenH3.

Replicating satellite RNA induces sequence-specific DNA methylation and truncated transcripts in plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Tobacco plants were transformed with a chimeric transgene comprising sequences encoding β-glucuronidase (GUS) and the satellite RNA (satRNA) of cereal yellow dwarf luteovirus.

Rapid generation of chromosome-specific alphoid DNA probes using the polymerase chain reaction [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Non-isotopic in situ hybridization of chromosome-specific alphoid DNA probes has become a potent tool in the study of numerical aberrations of specific human chromosomes at all stages of the cell cycle. In this paper, we describe approaches for the rapid

Characterization of Two Satellite DNA Families in the Genome of the Oomycete Plant Pathogen Phytophthora parasitica

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2020
Satellite DNA is a class of repetitive sequences that are organized in long arrays of tandemly repeated units in most eukaryotes. Long considered as selfish DNA, satellite sequences are now proposed to contribute to genome integrity.

DNA Methylation Patterns of a Satellite Non-coding Sequence – FA-SAT in Cancer Cells: Its Expression Cannot Be Explained Solely by DNA Methylation

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2019
Satellite ncRNAs are emerging as key players in cell and cancer pathways. Cancer-linked satellite DNA hypomethylation seems to be responsible for the overexpression of satellite non-coding DNAs in several tumors.

The Pontastacus leptodactylus (Astacidae) Repeatome Provides Insight Into Genome Evolution and Reveals Remarkable Diversity of Satellite DNA

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
Pontastacus leptodactylus is a native European crayfish species found in both freshwater and brackish environments. It has commercial importance for fisheries and aquaculture industries. Up till now, most studies concerning P.

Satellite DNA in insects: a review [PDF]

open access: yesHeredity, 2008
The study of insect satellite DNAs (satDNAs) indicates the evolutionary conservation of certain features despite their sequence heterogeneity. Such features can include total length, monomer length, motifs, particular regions and/or secondary and tertiary structures.

Influence of DNA methylation on positioning and DNA flexibility of nucleosomes with pericentric satellite DNA [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2015
DNA methylation occurs on CpG sites and is important to form pericentric heterochromatin domains. The satellite 2 sequence, containing seven CpG sites, is located in the pericentric region of human chromosome 1 and is highly methylated in normal cells ...
