Repetitive DNA in the pea (<it>Pisum sativum </it>L.) genome: comprehensive characterization using 454 sequencing and comparison to soybean and <it>Medicago truncatula</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Extraordinary size variation of higher plant nuclear genomes is in large part caused by differences in accumulation of repetitive DNA. This makes repetitive DNA of great interest for studying the molecular mechanisms shaping architec...
