To further define the structure of the pericentromeric region of human chromosome 7, we have identified and characterized a YAC clone (YAC 311.H5) containing the D7S1480 locus, which maps to the short arm near the centromere of this chromosome, by linkage in CEPH families and radiation hybrid analysis. This YAC contains two new blocks of alphoid DNA (named Z5 and Z6). Both Z5 and Z6 show monomeric structures and a lack of higher-order repeats, and, therefore, belong to suprachromosomal family type 4 (M1). The orientation of the two blocks and the physical distances over the region were defined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and fluorescence in situ hybridization on chromatin fibers (FiberFISH). A YAC contig spanning the centromeric region has been developed by STS content.

D002503 Centromere The clear constricted portion of the chromosome at which the chromatids are joined and by which the chromosome is attached to the spindle during cell division. Centromeres
D002843 Chromatin The material of CHROMOSOMES. It is a complex of DNA; HISTONES; and nonhistone proteins (CHROMOSOMAL PROTEINS, NON-HISTONE) found within the nucleus of a cell. Chromatins
D002897 Chromosomes, Human, Pair 7 A specific pair of GROUP C CHROMOSOMES of the human chromosome classification. Chromosome 7
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004276 DNA, Satellite Highly repetitive DNA sequences found in HETEROCHROMATIN, mainly near centromeres. They are composed of simple sequences (very short) (see MINISATELLITE REPEATS) repeated in tandem many times to form large blocks of sequence. Additionally, following the accumulation of mutations, these blocks of repeats have been repeated in tandem themselves. The degree of repetition is on the order of 1000 to 10 million at each locus. Loci are few, usually one or two per chromosome. They were called satellites since in density gradients, they often sediment as distinct, satellite bands separate from the bulk of genomic DNA owing to a distinct BASE COMPOSITION.
