Squamate reptiles challenge paradigms of genomic repeat element evolution set by birds and mammals

Large-scale patterns of genomic repeat element evolution have been studied mainly in birds and mammals. Here, the authors analyze the genomes of over 60 squamate reptiles and show high variation in repeat elements compared to mammals and birds, and particularly high microsatellite seeding in snakes.
