A heavy (GC rich) DNA satellite with terminal chromosomal localization is characteristic for all mysticete (whalebone whale) genomes. Sequences of 58 repeats of the satellite were compared in all ten extant mysticete species. In three families comprising eight species, the typical repeat length was
Changes in the copy number of nuclear genes provide the raw material for the creation of new gene functions. To better understand the mechanisms for such events, and their physiologic and evolutionary consequences, it is valuable to study a well characterized and closely related group of species suc
