Simple sequence repeats drive genome plasticity and promote adaptive evolution in penaeid shrimp

This study focuses on the role of simple sequence repeats (SSRs) in the evolution of the genomes of two penaeid shrimp species, Fenneropenaeus chinensis and Litopenaeus vannamei. They observed a significant expansion in SSRs in the genomes of these species (~23%) compared what is seen in other anima...

Sumario:This study focuses on the role of simple sequence repeats (SSRs) in the evolution of the genomes of two penaeid shrimp species, Fenneropenaeus chinensis and Litopenaeus vannamei. They observed a significant expansion in SSRs in the genomes of these species (~23%) compared what is seen in other animal genomes (~1%) and suggest a possible mechanistic relationship between SSRs and transposable elements.
