Human beta satellite DNA: genomic organization and sequence definition of a class of highly repetitive tandem DNA.
Abstract
We describe a class of human repetitive DNA, called beta satellite, that, at a most fundamental level, exists as tandem arrays of diverged approximately equal to 68-base-pair monomer repeat units. The monomer units are organized as distinct subsets, each characterized by a multimeric higher-order repeat unit that is tandemly reiterated and represents a recent unit of amplification. We have cloned, characterized, and determined the sequence of …
