High-throughput analysis of the satellitome revealed enormous diversity of satellite DNAs in the neo-Y chromosome of the cricket Eneoptera surinamensis
Satellite DNAs (satDNAs) constitute large portion of eukaryote genomes, comprising non-
protein-coding sequences tandemly repeated. They are mostly found in heterochromatic …

Three recent sex chromosome-to-autosome fusions in a Drosophila virilis strain with high satellite DNA content
The karyotype, or number and arrangement of chromosomes, has varying levels of stability
across both evolution and disease. Karyotype changes often originate from DNA breaks …
