Summary of Comparative Analysis of Simple Satellites in the Drosophila virilis group.

Species Technologies Used Main Findings
Drosophila virilis Illumina, PacBio, Nanopore, FISH AAACTAC pericentromeric and extremely abundant, AAACTAT and AAATTAC are centromere proximal and highly abundant
Drosophila novamexicana Illumina, PacBio, FISH AAACTAC pericentromeric and much lower abundance than D. virilis, except on putative Chr 5. AAACAAC is centromere proximal
Drosophila americana Illumina, PacBio CCS, FISH AAACTAC pericentromeric and intermediate abundance between D. virilis and novamexicana. AAACAAC is centromere proximal
Drosophila lummei Illumina, FISH AAACTAC highly abundant and pericentromeric
Drosophila montana Illumina No abundant 7-mers present; most abundant satellite is AAAC

Note.—CCS, circular consensus sequencing; FISH, fluorescence in situ hybridization. Centromere-proximal satellites are italicized.
