Salellite DNA Chromosome Patterns in Deschampsia sukatschewii, D. cespitosa and D. antarctica (Poaceae) Based on Repeatome Analyses

The present work aims to perform a comparative characterization of repeatomes of subpolar and polar accessions of D. sukatschewii, D. cespitosa and D. antarctica, which includes high throughput DNA sequencing with low coverage, genome-wide bioinformatic analyses by RepeatExplorer pipelines, FISH chromosome mapping of the identified specific satDNAs and also searching new important molecular chromosome markers, to provide information about the changes occurred in their genomes during speciation.
