Abstract excerpt
We have cloned, from the genome of HeLa cells, related 1.8-kb highly repetitive EcoRI satellite II (and III) DNA family members that displayed a high degree of TaqI and HinfI variations. Comparative sequence analysis of these cloned DNAs suggests that highly repetitive satellite DNAs may have evolved and diversified from the rapid amplification of a pentameric unit (5' TTCCA 3'), by processes including random and...
