Abstract Background Tandemly repeated DNA also called as satellite DNA is a common feature of eukaryotic genomes. Satellite repeats can expand and contract dramatically which may cause genome size variation among genetically-related species. However the origin and expansion mechanism are not clear yet and needed to be elucidated. Results FISH analysis revealed .
