Article Synopsis
- Crocodilians, one of the oldest vertebrate lineages, have been studied for their evolution and resilience, specifically focusing on satellite DNA (satDNA) families across different Alligatoridae species.
- Research on alligators and caimans revealed a minimal number of satDNA families, showing a strong conservation of these genomic elements over time with little variation among species.
- The study found that alligators and caimans share only four satDNA sets, indicating that most new satellite sequences likely evolved from existing ones, implying a stable genomic landscape.
