The Role of Satellite DNAs in Genome Architecture and Sex Chromosome Evolution in Crambidae Moths
Tandem repeats are important parts of eukaryotic genomes being crucial e.g., for centromere and telomere function and chromatin modulation. In Lepidoptera, knowledge of tandem repeats is very limited despite the growing number of sequenced genomes. Here we introduce seven new satellite DNAs (satDNAs...
