Characterization of a human Y chromosome Pvu II repeated sequence
Human Heredity
|January 1, 1985
Abstract:
The human Y chromosome carries numerous copies of a tandemly repeated Pvu II sequence, 2.4 kb long. These sequences are specific to humans, and are present in a much smaller amount in the DNA of females. They are localized on the long arm of the Y chromosome. We have compared this sequence with the Hae III 2.1 kb Y-specific repeated sequence, already described.
