Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on repetitive DNA sequences in the centromeric regions of certain plant chromosomes, revealing that small chromosomes accumulate these sequences.
- It identifies a specific short tandem repeat, Coffea_sat11, linked to Gypsy/TAT LTR retrotransposons, which forms clusters with other transposable elements and is involved in producing non-coding RNA.
- The findings suggest that this repeat is preserved across different species within the genus and plays a significant role in the organization and regulation of chromatin around centromeres.
