Satellite DNA evolution illuminated by high-throughput satellitome analyses of related species

The main goal of this project is to investigate the satellitomes in two groups of invertebrates.

Principal investigator: dr. sc. Brankica Mravinac

(Epi)genomics and transcriptomics of euchromatic satellite DNAs in embryogenesis and development

Satellite DNAs (satDNAs) are the most abundant and rapidly evolving non-coding DNA of all eukaryotic genomes.
