Background: Centromeres are essential for chromosome segregation, yet their DNA sequences evolve rapidly. In most animals and plants that have been studied, centromeres contain megabase-scale arrays of tandem repeats. ...

The centromeric region of the eukaryotic chromosomes is composed of repetitive sequences, being represented mainly by tandem repeats commonly known as satellite DNAs. Studies referring to these highly dynamic sequences ...

Maize karyotype variability has been extensively investigated. The identification of maize somatic and pachytene chromosomes has improved with the development of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using tandemly ...

A substantial portion of the primate genome is composed of non-coding regions, so-called dark matter, which includes an abundance of tandemly repeated sequences called satellite DNA. Collectively known as the satellitome, ...
