Satellitome Analysis on Talpa aquitania Genome and Inferences about the satDNAs Evolution on Some Talpidae

Juana Gutierrez et al.

Summary: A new species of the genus Talpa, Talpa aquitania, was studied to characterize the satellitome of its genome. It was found that there are 16 different families of satellite DNA in this genome, representing 1.24% of the genome. The localization of these satellite DNA families showed preferential binding to centromeric and non-centromeric heterochromatin.

Making the Genome Huge: The Case of Triatoma delpontei, a Triatominae Species with More than 50% of Its Genome Full of Satellite DNA

Pablo Mora et al.

Summary: The genome of Triatoma delpontei, a species within Heteroptera, is two to three times larger than other Heteroptera genomes. An analysis of repetitive DNA sequences revealed that satellite DNA makes up more than half of the T. delpontei genome. These satellite DNA sequences have played a significant role in the evolution of Triatominae genomes.

Expanding the Chromosomal Evolution Understanding of Lygaeioid True Bugs (Lygaeoidea, Pentatomomorpha, Heteroptera) by Classical and Molecular Cytogenetic Analysis

Natalia V. Golub et al.

Summary: The study investigated the male karyotypes and meiosis in 10 species of Lygaeoidea. The results showed a range of chromosome numbers and the presence of an XY system and m-chromosomes. The study also found that the Lygaeoidea lack the canonical insect telomere motif (TTAGG)(n) and speculated on the presence of other telomere repeat motifs.

Satellite DNAs-From Localized to Highly Dispersed Genome Components

Eva Satovic-Vuksic et al.

Summary: According to the classical view, satellite DNAs are abundant non-coding DNA sequences repeated in tandem located in heterochromatin. Recent studies have shown that satellite DNAs and their organizational forms exhibit more diversity and complexity than previously thought in different animal and plant species. Differences are observed in their distribution, length, interspersion patterns, association with transposable elements, and localization in heterochromatin and/or euchromatin. This review compares the organizational features of satellite DNAs and satellitomes across species to summarize the evolutionary processes leading to the diversity of satellitomes and reevaluate the basic notions of repetitive DNA landscapes in genomes.

Analysis in Proceratophrys boiei genome illuminates the satellite DNA content in a frog from the Brazilian Atlantic forest

Marcelo Joao Da Silva et al.

Summary: This study characterized and analyzed the satellite DNA content (satellitome) in the frog P. boiei, revealing a high diversity of satellite repeats and their involvement in crucial processes for genomic organization and maintenance. The satellitome of P. boiei is composed of 226 families, making it the frog species with the highest number of satellites described so far. SatDNAs are present in strategic chromosomal regions, such as centromeres and pericentromeric regions, highlighting their importance in genomic organization and maintenance.

Satellitome analysis illuminates the evolution of ZW sex chromosomes of Triportheidae fishes (Teleostei: Characiformes)

Rafael Kretschmer et al.

Summary: This study investigated the composition and role of satellite DNA (satDNA) in the evolution of sex chromosomes in Triportheus species. The results revealed differences in satDNA accumulation on the Z chromosome among different species and different homogenization rates between the Z and W chromosomes. The most abundant satDNA family was found to be localized in the centromeres and potentially played a role in centromere evolution.

Paulo G. Hofstatter et al.

Summary: This study compares the genome organization and evolution of holocentric chromosomes to monocentric chromosomes, revealing the impact of holocentromeres on 3D genome architecture and the distribution of centromere function. The researchers also uncover the complex genome organization and unexpected polyploidy in Rhynchospora pubera, as well as the reduction in chromosome number in Rhynchospora tenuis. The study highlights the role of repeat-based holocentromeres in chromosomal evolution and diploidization.

Universal fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) protocol for mapping repetitive DNAs in insects and other arthropods

Diogo Cavalcanti Cabral-de-Mello et al.

Summary: Repetitive DNAs are a large portion of eukaryote genomes, posing challenges in genome assembly due to the similarity between these repeats. The FISH technique is powerful for physical mapping of sequences on chromosomes, but there is a need for a universal and affordable protocol. Testing a FISH protocol on various insects and arthropods showed high quality results, indicating its potential utility in studying the evolution and role of repetitive DNA in arthropod genomes.

Summary: Neotropical fishes have highly diversified karyotypic and genomic characteristics, with varied sex chromosome systems. The study on the satellitome of Megaleporinus elongatus revealed 140 different satDNA families, showing gender-biased differences and significant contributions to sex chromosome differentiation. The highly diversified satDNA composition in M. elongatus influences genome plasticity and evolutionary behavior in sex chromosomes.

Large vs small genomes in Passiflora: the influence of the mobilome and the satellitome

Mariela Sader et al.

Summary: This study compared the organization and diversity of repetitive elements in three Passiflora species with different genome sizes, revealing that LTR retrotransposons are the most abundant elements in all three genomes. The largest genome species accumulated more repetitive DNA sequences, while the smallest genome species evolved through diversification of different repeat types, particularly satDNAs. These findings highlight the variations in repetitive sequences among Passiflora species with different genome sizes.

Out of patterns, the euchromatic B chromosome of the grasshopper Abracris flavolineata is not enriched in high-copy repeats

Diogo Milani et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the B chromosome of the grasshopper Abracris flavolineata in depth and found its DNA repeat content to be highly similar to that of A chromosomes, with little enrichment for high-copy repeats. The few satellite DNAs on the B chromosome were mainly restricted to centromeric and telomeric regions, displaying smaller bands than on the A chromosomes. The data supported the intraspecific origin of the B chromosome and suggested that it may have recently emerged and could be undergoing a process of heterochromatinization.

Satellitome Analysis of Rhodnius prolixus, One of the Main Chagas Disease Vector Species

Eugenia E. Montiel et al.

Summary: Rhodnius prolixus' satellite DNA accounts for 8% of the total genome, composed of 39 satDNA families, including four shared with Triatoma infestans, as well as telomeric and GATA repeats. The clustering analysis revealed that most abundant satDNA families configured several superclusters, indicating complexity in R. prolixus' satellitome, with the four most abundant satDNA families being composed by different subfamilies. Transcription analysis of satDNA families in different tissues showed that 33 out of 39 families are transcribed in four different patterns of expression.
