Satellitome Analysis in the Southern Lapwing (<i>Vanellus chilensis</i>) Genome: Implications for SatDNA Evolution in Charadriiform Birds

<i>Vanellus</i> (Charadriidae; Charadriiformes) comprises around 20 species commonly referred to as lapwings. In this study, by integrating cytogenetic and genomic approaches, we assessed the satellite DNA (satDNA) composition of one typical species, <i>Vanellus chilensis</i>...
