Table 7 Repeats elements included in the 500 Kb distal subtelomere region adjacent to telomeric repeats of chromosomes arms 2H-L, 3H-L and 5H-L. Satellites: multiple copies of the same DNA sequence, the repeated pattern can vary in length for a single base to several thousand bases long; Simple repeats: duplications of simple sets of DNA bases (2–5 bp) such as A, CA, CGG etc.; Low complexity: Poly-purine or poly-pyrimidine stretches and regions of extremely high AT or CG content

From: Telomere and subtelomere high polymorphism might contribute to the specificity of homologous recognition and pairing during meiosis in barley in the context of breeding
