Abstract
Satellite DNA sequences can rapidly expand, and pressure to preserve genome integrity is thought to trigger the adaptive evolution of satellite-associated proteins. The authors of a new study manipulate both sides of this co-evolution in Drosophila to reveal how DNA entanglements can trigger the rapid adaptive evolution of chromatin proteins.
