Too much too many: comparative analysis of morabine grasshopper genomes reveals highly abundant transposable elements and rapidly proliferating satellite DNA repeats
2020-08-22
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> The repeatome, the collection of repetitive DNA sequences represented by transposable elements (TEs) and tandemly repeated satellite DNA (satDNAs), is found in high proportion in organisms across the tree of life. Grasshoppers have large genomes (average 9 Gb), containing large amounts of repetitive DNA which has hampered progress in assembling reference genomes. Here we combined linked-read g...
