Repetitive DNA in the edible button mushroom

Posted on Saturday, 22 June, 2013 by

I have a mental picture of the structure of a typical plant genome and typical animal genome, with their  transposons (DNA and RNA), tandemly-repeated satellite sequences, minisatellites, microsatellites and other repeats. From this paper, I have a view of repeats in the second … Continue reading →
