Satellite DNA represents one of the most fascinating parts of the repetitive fraction of the
eukaryotic genome. Since the discovery of highly repetitive tandem DNA in the 1960s, a lot …

For decades, satellite DNAs have been the hidden part of genomes. Initially considered as
junk DNA, there is currently an increasing appreciation of the functional significance of …

In this study, IMO‐TaqI satDNA, previously isolated in several species of Lacertidae, was
isolated and characterized from four species of the genus Lacerta and three of the genus …

Satellite DNAs (satDNAs) are tandemly repeated sequences that make up a significant
portion of almost all eukaryotic genomes. Although satDNAs have been shown to play an …

Here, we analyze the evolutionary dynamics of a satellite-DNA family in an attempt to
understand the effect of factors such as location, organization, and repeat-copy number in …

Satellite DNA (satDNA) is a major component of the heterochromatic regions of eukaryote
genomes and usually shows a high evolutionary dynamic, even among closely related …

Two satellite DNAs (satDNAs) have been isolated and characterized from three populations
of Atlantolacerta andreanskyi. One satDNA (AAN‐TaqI) has been isolated here from the first …

Wide arrays of repetitive DNA sequences form an important part of eukaryotic genomes.
These repeats appear to evolve as coherent families, where repeats within a family are more …

This paper represents the first molecular cytogenetic characterization of the strictly dioecious
pistachio tree (Pistacia vera L.). The karyotype was characterized by fluorescent in situ …

We studied the evolution of RAE180 satellite DNA family in the North American endemic
dioecious plant Rumex hastatulus. In this species, the Texas race is characterized by a …
