Chromosome-specific alpha satellite DNA from human chromosome 1: Hierarchical structure and genomic organization of a polymorphic domain spanning several hundred kilobase pairs of centromeric DNA
Abstract
The human alpha satellite repetitive DNA family is organized as distinct chromosome-specific subsets localized to the centromeric region of each chromosome. Here, we report he isolation and characterization of cloned repeat units which define a hierarchical subset of alpha satellite on human chromosome 1. This subset is characterized by a 1.9-kb higher-order repeat unit which consists of 11 tandem approximately 171-bp alpha satellite monomer …
