A highly repetitive DNA sequence family from the genome of Sparus aurata has been cloned and characterized. The family is composed of repeat units of 186 bp in length, and it accounts for 2% of the fish genome. Data from Southern blots and in situ hybridization demonstrate that repeating units are tandemly arranged at the centromeres of all the chromosomes in this species. The repetitive sequence is AT rich (67%) and is characterized by short stretches of consecutive AT base pairs and by short direct and inverted repeats. Sequence analysis of six cloned monomers of the family reveals some variation among clones at random positions and also distinguishes two subfamilies of repeats that differ in a highly divergent block of 31 bp. These two subfamilies do not seem to be located in separate domains but occur together in the centromere of each chromosome pair. The presence of this repeat family in the genome of other Sparidae species, some of which are relatively distant from S. aurata, indicates that this repetitive sequence could be an important component of the centromere in this fish family.

D012091 Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid Sequences of DNA or RNA that occur in multiple copies. There are several types: INTERSPERSED REPETITIVE SEQUENCES are copies of transposable elements (DNA TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS or RETROELEMENTS) dispersed throughout the genome. TERMINAL REPEAT SEQUENCES flank both ends of another sequence, for example, the long terminal repeats (LTRs) on RETROVIRUSES. Variations may be direct repeats, those occurring in the same direction, or inverted repeats, those opposite to each other in direction. TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES are copies which lie adjacent to each other, direct or inverted (INVERTED REPEAT SEQUENCES).

D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
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.
