Parasites Acquired Beta Satellite DNAs from Hominid Hosts via Horizontal Gene Transfer
2019-03-28
Abstract excerpt
Beta satellite DNA (satDNA) sequences are repeated DNA elements located in primate centromeres and telomeres, and might play roles in genome stability and chromosome segregation. Beta satDNAs mainly exist in great apes. Previous studies suggested that beta satDNAs may originate in old world monkeys. In this study, we searched both GenBank and SRA database, and identified beta satDNA sequences from the genomic sequ...
