Investigating the Function of Selfish Satellite Sequences through Expression Profiling in the Jewel Wasp testis

Highly repetitive, non-protein-coding satellite DNAs are ubiquitous among eukaryotes. In some cases, these sequences make up entire chromosomes, and as much as half of most eukaryotic genomes. Currently, very little is known about the possible roles of satellite DNAs in genome function. In this stud...
