Satellite DNA, found only in vertebrates, can have 130-base to 300-base repeats that are not tandem {short interspersed element} (SINE). RNA polymerase III transcribes SINEs. SINEs include Alu repeats. Human genome has one million Alu repeats. SINE-repeat sequences entered genomes by transposition.
Satellite DNA, found only in vertebrates, can have long repeats {long interspersed element} (LINE) that are not tandem. LINE repeat sequences entered genomes by transposition.
