title: An analysis of the bovine genome by density gradient centrifugation: fractionation in Cs2SO4/3,6-bis(acetatomercurimethyl)dioxane density gradient.
abstract: The fractionation of calf thymus DNA by centrifugation in density gradients of Cs2SO4/BAMD, where BAMD = 3,6-bis(acetatomercurimethyl)dioxane, is described. A large-scale separation of (dG+dC)-rich DNA fractions has been obtained, allowing the relative amounts of minor and satellite components in the bovine genome to be precisely assessed.
