Abstract excerpt
Due to a high evolutionary turnover many satellite DNAs are restricted to a group of closely related species. Here we demonstrate that the satellite DNA family PSUB, abundant in the beetle Palorus subdepressus, is distributed in a low number of copies among diverse taxa of Coleoptera (Insecta), some of them separated for an evolutionary period of up to 60 Myr. Comparison of PSUB cloned from the species Tribolium...
