Concept information

Preferred term

satellite DNA  

Definition(s)

  • The study of satellite DNA consists of research into highly repetitive DNA—sequences that tend to reoccur at high frequencies with the nucleotides adenine and thymine. This means that they generally have lower densities and can form a second “satellite” band when the demonic DNA is separated along a density gradient.
