Repetitive DNA is a major organizational component of eukaryotic genomes, being
intrinsically related with their architecture and evolution. Tandemly repeated satellite DNAs …

By definition, telomeric sequences are located at the very ends or terminal regions of
chromosomes. However, several vertebrate species show blocks of (TTAGGG) n repeats …

Telomere has a central role in chromosomal stability events. Chromosome ends organized
in telomere-loop prevent activation of DNA damage response (DDR) mechanisms, thus …

Eukaryotic genomes are rich in repetitive DNA sequences grouped in two classes regarding
their genomic organization: tandem repeats and dispersed repeats. In tandem repeats …

Cytogenetic data showed the enrichment of repetitive DNAs in chromosomal rearrangement
points between closely related species in armored catfishes. Still, few studies integrated …

Satellite DNA (satDNA) consists of tandem repeat sequences that typically evolve rapidly
through evolutionary mechanisms, including unequal crossover, transposition events, and …

Chromosomal rearrangements play a significant role in the evolution of fish genomes, being
important forces in the rise of multiple sex chromosomes and in speciation events. Repetitive …

Due to reciprocal chromosomal translocations, many species of Oenothera (evening
primrose) form permanent multichromosomal meiotic rings. However, regular bivalent …

In recent years, a growing body of evidence has recognized the tandem repeat sequences,
and specifically satellite DNA, as a functional class of sequences in the genomic “dark …

Repetitive satellite DNA (satDNA) sequences are abundant in eukaryote genomes, with a
structural and functional role in centromeric function. We analyzed the nucleotide sequence …
