Dissecting the Satellite DNA Landscape in Three Cactophilic Drosophila Sequenced Genomes

Eukaryote genomes are replete with repetitive DNAs. This class includes tandemly repeated satellite DNAs (satDNA) which are among the most abundant, fast evolving (yet poorly studied) genomic components. Here, we used high-throughput sequencing data from three cactophilic Drosophila species, D. buzz...
