Abstract
A portion of human satellite I DNA is digested by HinfI into three fragments of 775, 875 and 820bp in length which form a tandemly repeated unit 2.47kb in length, specific to male DNA. One Alu family member per repeat is found within the relatively G+C rich 775bp fragment. The 875 and 820bp fragments are highly A+T rich and consist of long stretches of poly dAdT and related sequences.Keywords
