Chromosomal localization of the major satellite DNA family (FA-SAT) in the domestic cat.
A major satellite DNA sequence was isolated from the cat genome and its sequencing data revealed homology to the FA-SAT family. In situ hybridization of the cat satellite DNA and telomeric sequences to cat chromosomes, together with staining of constitutive heterochromatin, allowed the physical mapping of the FA-SAT sequences, and also an overall constitutive heterochromatin study in cat chromosomes.
