Molecular cytogenetic mapping of Cucumis sativus and C. melo using highly repetitive DNA sequences [PDF]
, 2010 Chromosomes often serve as one of the most important molecular aspects of studying the evolution of species. Indeed, most of the crucial mutations that led to differentiation of species during the evolution have occurred at the chromosomal level ...

Repetitive Sequences in Plant Nuclear DNA: Types, Distribution, Evolution and Function
Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics, 2014 Repetitive DNA sequences are a major component of eukaryotic genomes and may account for up to 90% of the genome size. They can be divided into minisatellite, microsatellite and satellite sequences.

Directed PCR-free engineering of highly repetitive DNA sequences
BMC Biotechnology, 2011 Background Highly repetitive nucleotide sequences are commonly found in nature e.g. in telomeres, microsatellite DNA, polyadenine (poly(A)) tails of eukaryotic messenger RNA as well as in several inherited human disorders linked to trinucleotide repeat ...

Algorithms for Molecular Biology, 2021 Background Repetitive elements contribute a large part of eukaryotic genomes. For example, about 40 to 50% of human, mouse and rat genomes are repetitive. So identifying and classifying repeats is an important step in genome annotation.

A comparative investigation of nuclear DNA content and its phenotypic impacts in Silene marizii and S. latifolia [PDF]
, 2008 Considerable variation exists both within and between species in nuclear DNA content. Despite there being no obvious functional role for much of this DNA, many studies have reported phenotypic correlations with genome size at various taxonomic levels ...

The case for not masking away repetitive DNA
Mobile DNA, 2018 In the course of analyzing whole-genome data, it is common practice to mask or filter out repetitive regions of a genome, such as transposable elements and endogenous retroviruses, in order to focus only on genes and thus simplify the results.

Investigation of distal repetitive sequences in the genus allium [PDF]
, 2009 PhDThe telomere is a DNA/protein structure required to maintain the ends of linear chromosomes. Usually the DNA component comprises a highly conserved tandemly repeated minisatellite sequence.
