Description
Nikita Vassetzky, Sergei Kosushkin, and Alexey Ryskov look for a hidden link between two kinds of repeated DNA in lizards and snakes. Genomes hold repeats that sit in long rows, and other repeats that are scattered. The two kinds were long thought to grow apart, with little proof that one can seed the other.
Across 56 genomes of scaled reptiles, the team found rows built from pieces of the scattered kind. Snake rows looked alike in form and count, while gecko rows varied a lot and some lizard groups had few or none. The rows likely sit near chromosome ends. Their spread across many kinds hints at a set path for how new rows are born.
