Analysis of 30 chromosome-level <i>Drosophila</i> genome assemblies reveals dynamic evolution of centromeric satellite repeats
2024-06-18
Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila genus is ideal for studying genome evolution due to its simple chromosome structure and small genome size, with rearrangements mainly restricted to within chromosome arms. However, work on the rapidly evolving repetitive genomic regions, composed of transposons and tandem repeats, have been hampered by the lack of genus-wide chromosome-level assemblies. Integrating long read genomic sequencing and...
