Table 1 Satellite II and III DNA consensus sequences

From: A histone arginine methylation localizes to nucleosomes in satellite II and III DNA sequences in the human genome

Satellite type

Consensus sequence

satellite II DNA

[(atTCCATTcg)2 + (atg)1–2]n

satellite III DNA

[(ATTCC)7–13 + (ATTcgggttg)1]n

  1. Subscripts indicate the number of occurrences of a subsequence in the consensus sequence. The motif TCCATT is displayed in uppercase. For satellite III DNA, the motif also appears when two instances of the first subsequence are juxtaposed. Adapted from [30, 31].
