Analysis of 30 chromosome-level Drosophila genome assemblies reveals dynamic evolution of centromeric satellite repeats
These chromosome-level genome assemblies present a valuable resource for future research, the power of which is demonstrated by our analysis of genome rearrangements and chromosome evolution. In addition, based on our findings, we propose the ananassae subgroup as an ideal model system for studying the evolution of centromere structure.
