Satellite DNAs in Drosophila koepferae (repleta group) reveal patterns of origin, chromosomal organization, transcription, and turnover in the buzzatii cluster

Abstract Satellite DNAs (satDNAs) are non-coding tandem repeats that can comprise more than 20% of eukaryotic genomes. They contribute to structural and regulatory processes in the genome and often evolve rapidly, shaping early stages of genetic differentiation between population...
