Correlated variation and population differentiation in satellite DNA abundance among lines of Drosophila melanogaster.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 30 Dec 2014

Abstract excerpt

Tandemly repeating satellite DNA elements in heterochromatin occupy a substantial portion of many eukaryotic genomes. Although often characterized as genomic parasites deleterious to the host, they also can be crucial for essential processes such as chromosome segregation. Adding to their interest, satellite DNA elements evolve at high rates; among Drosophila, closely related species often differ drastically in...
