Abstract excerpt
A 32-33 bp highly repeated DNA sequence, TkS1, has been isolated from genomic DNA of the newt Triturus karelini digested with the restriction endonucleases HaeIII or AluI. TkS1 is known to be localised in the centromeric heterochromatin of all the chromosomes in T. karelini and the related species T. cristatus. TkS1 has been shown to be present in varying amounts in the genomic DNA of a range of species of...
