satDNA presence and divergence across four chromosomal races of the viatica species group. a Venn diagram showing the number of satDNA families shared among the chromosomal races. b-e Repeat landscapes based on RepeatMasker illustrating the abundance and divergence of 10 randomly selected satDNAs. b P24X0, c P24XY, d P45bX0, and e P45bXY. Color-coded bar plots showing the genome proportion (y axis) for each type of satDNAs in the sequenced reads analyzed, binned according to K2P distances to their corresponding consensus sequence (x axis, K2P value from 0 to 50%). Copies in low-divergence bins are very similar to the consensus sequence and likely correspond to very recent copies. Out of the 102 satDNA families shared between all four races, there were 50 satDNA families showing differential amplification in copy number (cv > 80%; Additional file 1: Table S8). From these 50 families, 10 randomly selected satDNAs are shown here for visualization of differential proliferation of satDNAs
