A survey of the genomic distribution of alpha satellite DNA on all the human chromosomes, and derivation of a new consensus sequence

In this communication, we have surveyed all the alpha satellite subfamilies that have been reported. These subfamilies are systemmatically listed according to their chromosomal specificities and their multiplicity of sharing. Based on an analysis of 293 individual 171-bp monomeric units originating...

Description
Summary:In this communication, we have surveyed all the alpha satellite subfamilies that have been reported. These subfamilies are systemmatically listed according to their chromosomal specificities and their multiplicity of sharing. Based on an analysis of 293 individual 171-bp monomeric units originating from all the 24 different human chromosomes, we have derived an updated consensus sequence for the human alpha satellite DNA.
