Arrangement of a highly repeated DNA sequence in the genome and chromatin of the African green monkey

Open access

Abstract

The DNA of the African green monkey contains three components that are distinguishable by the kinetics of reassociation. The rapidly reassociating component represents about 20% of the total DNA and is composed almost entirely of a sequence (AGMr(HindIII)-1) which is repeated 6.8 x 10(6) times. The majority of the AGMr(HindIII)-1 sequences are organized in long tandem repeats of a segment of 172 base pairs in length. However, a fraction of the AGMr (HindIII)-1 sequences is interspersed with another 37% of the genome. The structure of the chromatin containing the AGMr-(HindIII)-1 sequence is indistinguishable from that containing total DNA. Furthermore, there is nothing inherent in the nucleotide sequence of AGMr(HindIII)-1 which specifies a unique location for nucleosomes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
