Evolutionary Dynamics of Satellite DNA Repeats across the Tettigoniidae Family: Insights from Genomic Analysis [PDF]
BiomoleculesSatellite DNA repeats are repetitive DNA sequences found in eukaryotic genomes, typically consisting of short DNA motifs repeated in tandem arrays. Despite the vast body of literature on satellite DNA repeats in other taxa, investigations specifically ...

Antibiotics induce overexpression of alpha satellite DNA accompanied with epigenetic changes at alpha satellite arrays as well as genome-wide [PDF]
Epigenetics & ChromatinThe transcription of satellite DNA is highly sensitive to environmental factors and represents a source of genomic instability. Therefore, tight regulation of (peri)centromeric transcription is essential for genome maintenance.

Multi-tissue characterization of the constitutive heterochromatin proteome in Drosophila identifies a link between satellite DNA organization and transposon repression. [PDF]
PLoS BiologyNoncoding satellite DNA repeats are abundant at the pericentromeric heterochromatin of eukaryotic chromosomes. During interphase, sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins cluster these repeats from multiple chromosomes into nuclear foci known as ...

Topoisomerase I is an evolutionarily conserved key regulator for satellite DNA transcription [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsRNA Polymerase (RNAP) II transcription on non-coding repetitive satellite DNAs plays an important role in chromosome segregation, but a little is known about the regulation of satellite transcription.

Genome size and identification of repetitive DNA sequences using low coverage sequencing in Hancornia speciosa Gomes (Apocynaceae: Gentianales) [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2020 Repetitive DNA is an important component of eukaryotic genomes, accounting for more than 90% of the genome size of some species, including mobile elements and satellite DNA sequences.

GlaI digestion of mouse γ-satellite DNA: study of primary structure and ACGT sites methylation
BMC Genomics, 2009 Background Patterns of mouse DNA hydrolysis with restriction enzymes are coincided with calculated diagrams of genomic DNA digestion in silico, except presence of additional bright bands, which correspond to monomer and dimer of γ-satellite DNA.

The modular mechanism of chromocenter formation in Drosophila
eLife, 2019 A central principle underlying the ubiquity and abundance of pericentromeric satellite DNA repeats in eukaryotes has remained poorly understood. Previously we proposed that the interchromosomal clustering of satellite DNAs into nuclear structures known ...

Conservation of Major Satellite DNAs in Snake Heterochromatin
Animals, 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 ...
