Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile DNA elements that comprise almost 50% of
mammalian genomic sequence. TEs are capable of making additional copies of themselves …

Satellite DNA consists of abundant tandem repeats that play important roles in cellular
processes, including chromosome segregation, genome organization and chromosome end …

We report the first annotated chromosome-level reference genome assembly for pea, Gregor
Mendel's original genetic model. Phylogenetics and paleogenomics show genomic …

RepeatExplorer2 is a novel version of a computational pipeline that uses graph-based
clustering of next-generation sequencing reads for characterization of repetitive DNA in …

Chloranthales remain the last major mesangiosperm lineage without a nuclear genome
assembly. We therefore assemble a high-quality chromosome-level genome of Chloranthus …

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is a major crop for sugar and bioenergy production. Its highly
polyploid, aneuploid, heterozygous, and interspecific genome poses major challenges for …

Transposable elements are viewed as 'selfish genetic elements', yet they contribute to gene
regulation and genome evolution in diverse ways. More than half of the human genome …

Repetitive elements (REs) are integral to the composition, structure, and function of
eukaryotic genomes, yet remain understudied in most taxonomic groups. We investigated …

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 …

Sturgeons seem to be frozen in time. The archaic characteristics of this ancient fish lineage
place it in a key phylogenetic position at the base of the~ 30,000 modern teleost fish …
