Evolution of Tribolium madens (Insecta, Coleoptera) satellite DNA through DNA inversion and insertion.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Mar 1996

Abstract excerpt

Two different satellite DNAs from tenebrionid species Tribolium madens (Insecta, Coleoptera) have been detected, cloned, and sequenced. Satellite I comprises 30% of the genome; it has a monomer size of 225 bp and a high A + T content of 74%. Satellite II, with a monomer size of 711 bp and A + T content of 70%, is less abundant, making 4% of the total DNA. Sequence variability of the monomers relative to consensus...
