The paper examines the dynamic evolution of satellite DNAs in two closely related Tribolium species, revealing differences in centromeric regions and potential roles in genome differentiation.

This study presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of Meloidogyne hapla, revealing recombination hotspots enriched with effector proteins involved in parasitism.

SatXplor is a pipeline for analyzing satellite DNA in complex genomes, offering tools for annotation, variation evaluation, and genomic context analysis.

The paper improves the genome assembly of Tribolium castaneum using long-read sequencing and identifies mechanisms for satellite DNA spread in gene-rich regions.

The paper assembles polyploid nematode genomes using long-read sequencing and identifies novel telomeric repeats that replace the conserved (TTAGGC)n sequence.
