Abstract: Eukaryotic genomes exhibit substantial accumulation of repetitive DNAs. These sequences can participate in chromosomal reorganization events and undergo molecular cooption to interfere with the function and evolution of genomes. In turtles, repetitive DNA sequences appear… read more here.
