Abstract excerpt

A family of four satellite DNAs has been characterized in the genome of the bivalve mollusc, Donax trunculus. All share HindIII sites, a similar monomer length of about 160 base pairs (bp), and the related oligonucleotide motifs GGTCA and GGGTTA, repeated six to 15 times within the repetitive uni...
