Satellitome analyses in nematodes illuminate complex species history and show conserved features in satellite DNAs

Abstract Background Satellite DNAs (satDNAs) are tandemly repeated non-coding DNA sequences that belong to the most abundant and the fastest evolving parts of the eukaryotic genome. A satellitome represents the collection of different satDNAs in a genome. Due to extreme diversity and methodological...
