2019-11-15
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Beta satellite DNA (satDNA) sequences, also known as Sau3A sequences, are repeated DNA elements reported in human and primate genomes. Beta satDNAs may play roles in genome stability and chromosome segregation during mitosis. It is previously thought that beta satDNAs originated in old world monkeys and bursted in great apes. However, global and high-throughput studies on beta satDNAs a...
