Identification and characterization of a new family of long satellite DNA, specific of true toads (Anura, Amphibia, Bufonidae)
Abstract Amphibians have some of the most variable genome sizes among vertebrates. Genome size variation has been attributed to repetitive and noncoding DNA, including satellite repeats, transposable elements, introns, and nuclear insertions of viral and organelle DNA. In vertebrates, satellite DNAs...
