Abstract excerpt
Characterization of a low-copy number DTF1 satellite DNA detected in the bivalve mollusk Donax trunculus revealed extensive grouping of monomer sequence variants into subfamilies identified by distinctive combinations of diagnostic nucleotides. It can be anticipated that a large number of subfamilies exists in the genome. In addition to the tandem organization of 169 bp long monomers, at least one subfamily was...
