Abstract excerpt
The LEP150 satellite DNA (satDNA) family found in Leptestheria dahalacensis (Ruppel, 1837) (Conchostraca) is a low-copy-number satellite with a canonical monomer of 150 bp. Nucleotide variation analyses suggest a 14-bp palindromic region as a possible protein binding site with constraints acting on the whole sequence but a 25-bp variable box. Besides the head-to-tail arrangement of 150 bp monomers, multimers...
