Abstract excerpt
Satellite DNAs are among the most abundant repetitive DNAs found in eukaryote genomes, where they participate in a variety of biological roles, from being components of important chromosome structures to gene regulation. Experimental methodologies used before the genomic era were insufficient, too laborious and time-consuming to recover the collection of all satDNAs from a genome. Today, the availability of whole...
