Abstract excerpt
Tandemly repeated DNA can comprise several percent of total genomic DNA in complex organisms and, in some instances, may play a role in chromosome structure or function. Alpha satellite DNA is the major family of tandemly repeated DNA found at the centromeres of all human and primate chromosomes....
