Abstract excerpt
Two related satellite DNA families (satellite I and satellite II) with complex higher-order repeat (HOR) monomers represent major DNA components equilocated in the pericentromeric heterochromatin of all Tribolium madens chromosomes. Fragments obtained upon genomic DNA restriction revealed two subfamilies of satellite II monomers, and also identified regions of transition between satellite I and satellite II...
