Comparative Repeat Profiling of Two Closely Related Conifers (Larix decidua and Larix kaempferi) Reveals High Genome Similarity With Only Few Fast-Evolving Satellite DNAs

Comparative Repeat Profiling of Two Closely Related Conifers (Larix decidua and Larix kaempferi) Reveals High Genome Similarity With Only Few Fast-Evolving Satellite DNAs

In eukaryotic genomes, cycles of repeat expansion and removal lead to large-scale genomic changes and propel organisms forward in evolution. However, in conifers, active repeat removal is thought to be limited, leading to expansions of their genomes, mostly exceeding 10 giga base pairs. As a result,...
