- Researchers studied the evolutionary patterns of the tetra-nucleotide microsatellite locus Spl-106 across 15 Acipenseriform species, finding three types of repeats and 23 haplotypes in the flanking sequences.
- They discovered that the flanking regions were highly conserved among specific genera, indicating a divergence that occurred around 150 million years ago, with a divergence rate of approximately 0.028% per million years.
- The findings suggest that the coexistence of different repeat types within species is likely due to historical duplication events that played a crucial role in the evolutionary processes of the Pacific lineage.
