How satellite dna comes into play in genomes? A rodentia cell-model approach

Satellite DNA (satDNA) sequences constitute the major component of constitutive heterochromatin (CH) and have been considered one of the most fascinating and intriguing repetitive DNA elements of eukaryotic genomes. For many years, satDNA was considered “junk” and a transcriptional inert fraction of...
