Satellitome of the Red Palm Weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), the Most Diverse Among Insects

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, is the most harmful species among those pests affecting palm trees. Its impact causes important economic losses around the World. Nevertheless, the genetic information of Rh.

Satellitome Analysis and Transposable Elements Comparison in Geographically Distant Populations of Spodoptera frugiperda

open access: yesLife, 2022
Spodoptera frugiperda (fall armyworm) is a member of the superfamily Noctuoidea that accounts for more than a third of all Lepidoptera and includes a considerable number of agricultural and forest pest species.

Characterization and transcriptional analysis of a subtelomeric satellite DNA family in the ladybird beetle Henosepilachna argus (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2017
Satellite DNAs are the major repetitive DNA components in eukaryotic genomes. Although satellite DNA has long been called "parasite DNA" there is substantial evidence that it could be associated with some functions of chromosome biology. Ladybird beetles

Test of the correlation between body size and DNA content in Pimelia (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) from the Canary Islands

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2003
Comparative analyses of interspecific data in evolutionary biology usually require specific methods to remove the effects of phylogenetic inertia. When phylogenetic inertia is not considered, the Canarian Pimelia species show a positive, and almost ...

Identification and characterization of a new family of long satellite DNA, specific of true toads (Anura, Amphibia, Bufonidae)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Amphibians have some of the most variable genome sizes among vertebrates. Genome size variation has been attributed to repetitive and noncoding DNA, including satellite repeats, transposable elements, introns, and nuclear insertions of viral and ...

GlaI digestion of mouse γ-satellite DNA: study of primary structure and ACGT sites methylation

open access: yesBMC 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.

Molecular analysis and genomic organization of major DNA satellites in banana (Musa spp.). [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Satellite DNA sequences consist of tandemly arranged repetitive units up to thousands nucleotides long in head-to-tail orientation. The evolutionary processes by which satellites arise and evolve include unequal crossing over, gene conversion ...

Genome size and identification of repetitive DNA sequences using low coverage sequencing in Hancornia speciosa Gomes (Apocynaceae: Gentianales) [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics 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.

The modular mechanism of chromocenter formation in Drosophila

open access: yeseLife, 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 ...

Evaluation of intra- and interspecific divergence of satellite DNA sequences by nucleotide frequency calculation and pairwise sequence comparison

open access: yesBiological Procedures Online, 2003
Satellite DNA sequences are known to be highly variable and to have been subjected to concerted evolution that homogenizes member sequences within species.
