α satellite DNA variation and function of the human centromere.

Nucleus (Austin, Tex.) - 4 Jul 2017

Sullivan Lori L, Chew Kimberline, Sullivan Beth A

Abstract excerpt

Genomic variation is a source of functional diversity that is typically studied in genic and non-coding regulatory regions. However, the extent of variation within noncoding portions of the human genome, particularly highly repetitive regions, and the functional consequences are not well understood. Satellite DNA, including α satellite DNA found at human centromeres, comprises up to 10% of the genome, but is...
