An eutherian intronic sequence gave rise to a major satellite DNA in Platyrrhini
2017-11-03
Abstract excerpt
Satellite DNAs (satDNAs) are major components of eukaryote genomes. However, because of their quick divergence, the evolutionary origin of a given satDNA family can rarely be determined. Herein we took advantage of available primate sequenced genomes to determine the origin of the CapA satDNA (~1,500 bp long monomers), first described in Sapajus apella . We show that CapA is an abundant satDNA in Platyrrhini, whe...
