A highly abundant satellite DNA comprising 17% of the Tribolium castaneum (Insecta, Coleoptera) genome was cloned and sequenced. The satellite monomer is 360 bp long, has a high A+T content of 73%, and lacks significant internal substructures. The sequence variability is 3.6%, essentially due to random distribution of single-point mutations. The satellite is evenly distributed in the regions of centromeric...
