Muhammad Salman, Ping Wang, Nian Liu, Xuanzeng Liu, Wei-An Deng , et al. · 2025

Comparative repeatome analysis of Pyrgomorphidae and Acrididae (Orthoptera: Caelifera) revealed the contribution of repetitive DNA in genome gigantism Open

Muhammad Salman, Xuanzeng Liu, Nian Liu, Yuan Huang · 2025

Eukaryotic genomes are often rich in DNA repetitive elements, involving both transposable elements (TE) and tandemly repeated satellite DNA. Grasshopper species, known for their large genome sizes, comprising relatively a high proportion o…

Evolutionary dynamics of repetitive elements and their relationship with genome size in Acrididae Open

Lina Zhao, Hao Yuan, Xuanzeng Liu, Huihui Chang, Xuan Jing , et al. · 2024

It is widely accepted that repetitive elements (REs) represent the primary mechanism driving genome size variation across eukaryotes. The observed genome sizes and REs of 59 species within the Acrididae were obtained and characterized. The…

Evolutionary Dynamics of Satellite DNA Repeats across the Tettigoniidae Family: Insights from Genomic Analysis Open

Muhammad Majid, Hashim Khan, Xuanzeng Liu, Muhammad Shaheer, Yuan Huang · 2024

Satellite DNA repeats are repetitive DNA sequences found in eukaryotic genomes, typically consisting of short DNA motifs repeated in tandem arrays. Despite the vast body of literature on satellite DNA repeats in other taxa, investigations …

Repetitive element expansions contribute to genome size gigantism in Pamphagidae: A comparative study (Orthoptera, Acridoidea) Open

Yimeng Nie, Xuanzeng Liu, Lina Zhao, Yuan Huang · 2024

Pamphagidae is a family of Acridoidea that inhabits the desert steppes of Eurasia and Africa. This study employed flow cytometry to estimate the genome size of eight species in the Pamphagidae. The results indicate that the genome size of …

Comprehensive analysis of the Xya riparia genome uncovers the dominance of DNA transposons, LTR/Gypsy elements, and their evolutionary dynamics Open

Hashim Khan, Yuan Huang, Xuanzeng Liu, Yimeng Nie, Muhammad Majid · 2024

Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences that can move or replicate within a genome, and their study has become increasingly important in understanding genome evolution and function. The Tridactylidae family, including Xya riparia (py…
