Classification of Y chromosome polymorphisms by DNA content and C-banding.

abstract：:Centromere protein B (CENP-B) is a centromeric DNA-binding protein that binds to alpha-satellite DNA at the 17 bp CENP-B box sequence. The binding of CENP-B, along with other proteins, to alpha-satellite DNA sequences at the centromere, is thought to package the DNA into heterochromatin subjacent to the kinetochore of...
