Analysis of repetitive DNA distribution patterns in the Tribolium castaneum genome

Suzhi Wang, Marcé D Lorenzen, Richard W Beeman, Susan J Brown Genome Biology 2008, 9:R61 (26 March 2008)

Abstract | Full text | PDF | PubMed | Cited on BioMed Central |  Editor’s summary

Approximately 30% of the Tribolium castaneum genome is comprised of repetitive DNA. These repeats accumulate in certain regions in the assembled T. castaneum genome, these regions might be derived from the large blocks of pericentric heterochromatin in Tribolium chromosomes.

Recurrent insertion and duplication generate networks of transposable element sequences in the Drosophila melanogaster genome

Casey M Bergman, Hadi Quesneville, Dominique Anxolabéhère, Michael Ashburner Genome Biology 2006, 7:R112 (29 November 2006)

Abstract | Full text | PDF | PubMed | Cited on BioMed Central |  Editor’s summary

An analysis of high-resolution transposable element annotations in Drosophila melanogaster suggests the existence of a global surveillance system against the majority of transposable elements families in the fly.
