Plant genomes are dominated by repetitive DNA sequences of many distinct types which, due to their variability and high copy numbers, are difficult to analyse. This sequence complexity has recently become accessible to detailed investigations with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies and novel analytical approaches utilizing low-pass genome sequence data. Here we explore the insights these methods have provided to our understanding of plant genomes, and review bioinformatic tools used in their analyses. We show that the repeats are diverse and fast diverging even between closely related lineages. We explore how the method has been used to study repeats in large and small plant genomes, and in association with polyploidy, distinctive chromosomes (sex chromosomes, B chromosomes, holocentric chromosomes), chromosome domains (e.g., rDNA loci and centromeres) and species groups of interest.
