A satellite is a subviral agent that depends on the coinfection of a host cell with a helper virus for its replication. Satellites can be divided into two major groups: satellite viruses and satellite nucleic acids. [1] Satellite viruses, which are most

Dec 1, 2018 · Understanding the biology of satellites is important since they are pathogenic to a wide range of plant, animal, and yeast organisms. Most satellites influence the pathogenesis of their helper viruses by altering the interaction between the host and helper virus.

Sep 18, 2019 · Satellites are tandem repeat sequences present in many eukaryotic genomes. The evolution and biological roles of satellites in different species has attracted much attention [1, 2].

Most human microsatellites probably have no biological use at all; however, they are extremely useful in such fields as forensic DNA profiling and genetic linkage analysis, which can be used to search for genes involved in a wide range of disorders.

Satellite DNA is generally classified by three major characteristics: 1) repeat unit size, 2) sequence composition, and 3) total block or array length. Here, we will focus on the major form of satellite DNA in the human genome, alpha satellite.

In this review, we first report what is known about satellite DNA biology on human X and Y chromosomes, including repeat content and organization, as well as satellite variation in typical euploid individuals.

Apr 14, 2020 · Centriolar satellites are membraneless granules that localize and move around centrosomes and cilia. Once referred to as structures with no obvious function, research in the past decade has identified satellites as key regulators of a …

Jan 1, 2017 · Extensive information on satellite viruses and nucleic acids has been described in several comprehensive reviews (Hu et al., 2009, Roossinck et al., 1992, Simon et al., 2004, Vogt and Jackson, 1999, Zhou, 2013) and will be dealt with separately in this book. This chapter will focus on some biological features of plant satellite viruses and ...
