title: Nucleotide sequence of a major satellite DNA element isolated from a saltwater fish Sillago japonica.
abstract: A member of satellite repetitive DNA was isolated and sequenced from a saltwater fish Sillago japonica (Percoidei). This sequence consists of several oligo-dA/dT tracts and two inverted repeats which resemble each other. Dot blot hybridization analysis using a satellite DNA clone pSJ2 among the species in the suborder Percoidei revealed that the pSJ2 sequence was amplified at least after the family Sillaginidae had been derived.
