Locations of a Human Satellite DNA in Human Chromosomes

Nature New Biology volume 236, pages 244–246 (1972)Cite this article

Abstract

USING techniques for DNA/RNA or DNA/DNA hybridization in situ, Pardue and Gall1 and Jones2 made several significant discoveries on the chromosomal locations of the mouse satellite DNA: (1) this fraction of DNA is found in all chromosomes except the Y, (2) the cytological location of the satellite DNA is limited to the centromeric region of each chromosome, and is probably absent in other regions, and (3) the centromeric regions of all mouse chromosomes are hetero-chromatic.
