Different repetitive DNA sequences make up heterochromatin in Meliponini [PDF]
Apidologie, 2020 Repetitive DNA sequences have been related to the maintenance of heterochromatin, evolution, and speciation, mainly due to the variations to which they are subject. Bees of the Meliponini tribe generally possess large amounts of heterochromatin that occupy the long arm of the chromosomes or even almost the entire chromosome.
