Abstract:Introduction
Eukaryotic genomes consist of both single and repetitive sequences, including Satellite DNAs (satDNA), which are non-coding sequences arranged in tandem arrays. These sequences play a crucial role in genomic functions and innovations, influencing processes such as nuclear material maintenance, heterochromatin formation, and sex chromosome differentiation. In this genomic era, advancements in next-generation sequencing and bioinformatic tools have facilitated the comprehensive cataloging of repetit… Show more
