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.
