Article Synopsis
- Satellite repeats are parts of the DNA in many complex living things, like fruit flies, and were once thought to be useless.
- Scientists studied these repeats in fruit flies and found they can actually influence how genes work and affect how species develop over time.
- The research shows that satellite repeats are important for understanding evolution and how different species of flies might change from each other.
