The wide distribution and horizontal transfers of beta satellite DNA in eukaryotes.

Beta satellite DNA (satDNA), also known as Sau3A sequences, are repetitive DNA sequences reported in human and primate genomes. It is previously thought that beta satDNAs originated in old world monkeys and bursted in great apes. In this study, we searched 7821 genome assemblies of 3767 eukaryotic species and found that beta satDNAs are widely distributed across eukaryotes.
