Contrasting DNA sequence organisation patterns in sauropsidian genomes.

abstract：:We have used the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique to search the Drosophila melanogaster genome for the presence of sequences with homology to mammalian and yeast centromeric DNA. Using primers based on the human CENP-B box present in alpha-satellite DNA and part of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae CDEIII centrome...
