Abstract

A significant portion of eukaryotic genomes consists of non-coding repetitive DNA sequences arranged in tandem arrays, known as satellite DNA (satDNA) [1]. Long-term research in the field of satDNA biology and recent advancements in genomic and bioinformatics tools have greatly expanded our understanding of these sequences. Current research in satDNA genomics has enabled important insights into the origin, connection with transposable elements, genome distribution patterns, and evolution of satDNAs. Additionally, the roles of satDNAs in centromere organization, heterochromatin assembly, chromosome stability, and gene expression regulation are becoming increasingly elucidated [2]. This Special Issue, “Satellite DNA genomics”, encompasses different research and review papers furthering and/or summarizing our knowledge on satDNAs from a genomics perspective.
