FISH demonstrated that the SATH1 satellite DNA family (approximately 900 bp) was located in the pericentromeric region of some chromosomes of the standard complement, as well as on all the B chromosomes. The SATH2 satellite family (441 bp) was located in the pericentromeric regions of some chromosomes of the standard complement, but was absent in the B chromosomes |
