Abstract excerpt
A phylogenetic network of 244 satellite DNA sequences across five species of aquatic salamanders (genus Triturus) revealed four types of satellite DNAs in a 'p'-shaped 1-2*-3-4-2* arrangement. Analysis of dimer and trimer DNA sequences revealed a prevalence of homosequential (e.g. 1-1, 2-2) and particular (1-4 and 2-3) heterosequential repeat motifs. Genetic diversity across types and species phylogeny indicated...
