Abstract excerpt
Satellite DNAs represent the most abundant fraction of repetitive sequences in genomes of almost all eukaryotic species. Long arrays of satellite DNA monomers form densely packed heterochromatic genome compartments and also span over the functionally important centromere locus. Many specific features can be ascribed to the evolution of tandemly repeated genomic components. This chapter focuses on the structural...
