Additions to CACTA transposons. A Diagrams of the captured gene fragments. B Captured satDNA. (1) Self-to-self comparisons of the CACTA-like element from the genome of C. quinoa (scaffold 3389) with the captured satDNA array. Parallel lines indicate tandem repeats (the distance between the diagonals equals the lengths of the motifs). (2) Agarose gel electrophoresis of PCR products obtained with primers designed from consensus monomer sequence of novel satDNA family from the genome of C. sosnowskyi showing typical ladder structure of tandem array. (3–4) FISH showing distribution of the novel satDNA family sequences on the chromosomes of C. quinoa and C. sosnowskyi. Novel satDNA is labeled with Cy3 (red signal); chromosomes are stained with DAPI (blue signal). The bar represents 5 μm
