Abstract excerpt
We examined the composition and evolution of a large heterochromatic region present in the genomes of certain species of the genus Muscari (Hyacinthaceae). We found that in Muscari comosum this heterochromatic region is composed mainly of a satellite DNA family, which we named MCSAT. Molecular analyses and in situ hybridization revealed that, through the evolution of Muscari species, the MCSAT sequences have been...
