Phylogenetic footprinting of non-coding RNA: hammerhead ribozyme sequences in a satellite DNA family of <it>Dolichopoda </it>cave crickets (Orthoptera, Rhaphidophoridae)

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The great variety in sequence, length, complexity, and abundance of satellite DNA has made it difficult to ascribe any function to this genome component. Recent studies have shown that satellite DNA can be transcribed and be involved...
