Source sentences:
text: Centromeres of most organisms possess highly repetitive sequences, making it difficult to study these loci.
text: In the latter three cases, all centromeres are composed of non-repetitive sequences.
text: The first sequences to reanneal are the highly repetitive sequences because so many copies of them exist in the genome, and because they have a low sequence complexity.
text: Dot-matrix was used to determine whether centromeres in C. lusitaniae are flanked by repetitive sequences.
text: However, in eukaryotes, the centromere is often composed of highly repetitive sequences: this represents a major evolutionary innovation, which could not be maintained in prokaryotes, which rapidly eliminate tandem repeat sequences (24).
text: However, the alternative scenario where telomeres derived from centromeres was discarded based on the fact that only linear chromosomes have allowed the evolution of complex centromeres containing repetitive sequences.
text: Two methods were employed to identify molecular markers that can be used to genetically map maize centromeres, which consist largely of repetitive sequences.
