Satellite DNAs between selfishness and functionality: structure, genomics and evolution of tandem repeats in centromeric (hetero)chromatin.

Gene - 15 Feb 2008

Plohl Miroslav, Luchetti Andrea, Mestrović Nevenka, Mantovani Barbara

Abstract excerpt

Satellite DNAs (tandemly repeated, non-coding DNA sequences) stretch over almost all native centromeres and surrounding pericentromeric heterochromatin. Once considered as inert by-products of genome dynamics in heterochromatic regions, recent studies showed that satellite DNA evolution is interplay of stochastic events and selective pressure. This points to a functional significance of satellite sequences, which...
