Transposons and satellite DNA: on the origin of the major satellite DNA family in the Chenopodium genome
Abstract Extensive and complex links exist between transposable elements (TEs) and satellite DNA (satDNA), which are the two largest fractions of eukaryotic genome. These relationships have a crucial effect on genome structure, function and evolution. Here, we report a novel case of mutual relations...
