Repeating evidence, including satellite DNA and transposable elements, highlights most of the genomes of most organisms. Despite this, our knowledge of the elements of evolution is boring. These repetitions are often collapsed and underrepresented. Here, we analyzed tandem repeats and the composition of transposing elements in four allopolyploid Poaceae species using short Illumina readings and clustering based on reclassified plots. The four genomes differ in retrotransposons and the prevalence of tandem repeats. The detailed composition of the repitome and evolutionary implications of this data will be discussed.
