Too much too many: comparative analysis of morabine grasshopper genomes reveals highly abundant transposable elements and rapidly proliferating satellite DNA repeats

Octavio Manuel Palacios-Gimenez, Julia Koelman, Marc Palmada‐Flores, Tessa M. Bradford, Karl K. Jones, Steven J. Cooper, Takeshi Kawakami, Alexander Suh

The paper analyzes the repeatome of four chromosomal races of Vandiemenella viatica grasshoppers, revealing high TE abundance and rapid satDNA proliferation contributing to large genome sizes.
