Abstract Background Satellites or tandem repeats are very abundant in many eukaryotic genomes. Occasionally they have been reported to be present in some prokaryotes. but to our knowledge there is no general comparative study on their occurrence. For this reason we present here an overview of the distribution and properties of satellites in a set of representative species. https://www.roneverhart.com/100-Percent-Sunglasses-SPEEDCRAFT-LE-Money-Mike-HiPER-Silver-Mirror/
