TL;DR
These are the locations where the largest number of DNA-containing interarm fibres were seen in electron micrographs of whole mount human mitotic chromosomes2, as well as other locations where RNA was made complementary in vitro to human repetitious DNA.
Abstract
IT is of interest that RNA (cRNA) made complementary in vitro to human repetitious DNA has been found to hybridize with human chromosomal DNA at the centromeres and at the ends of the arms in light microscope cytological preparations1. These are the locations where we saw the largest number of DNA-containing interarm fibres in electron micrographs of whole mount human mitotic chromosomes2 (Fig. 1).

The data presented in this paper show that the fixed-angle rotor offers from 5 to 10-fold greater resolution than the swinging-bucket rotor and that it has a capacity per tube of at least 10 times that of the swingside rotor.

This second class of DNA has been isolated by preparative CsCl centrifugation from a pool of the light fractions obtained from DNA-Hg 2+ Cs 2 SO 4 centrifugations, and tends to renature after heat-denaturation, as shown by the shift of its density towards the native value in neutral Cs cl.

Sonication of nuclei from the liver and brain of male mice yields three chromatin fractions with different sedimentation characteristics that reveal that the DNA from the constitutive heterochromatin is composed primarily of satellite DNA and represents in excess of 70% of the satellite DNA of the genome.
ChromosomaRepeated sequences in the DNA of Drosophila and their localization in giant chromosomes

Renaturation studies support various evidence that satellite sequences occur in tandemly repetitious units and at least some of this repetitious material seems to be linked to non-satellite DNA sequences or to DNA of other satellites.
ChromosomaLocalisation of reiterated nucleotide sequences in Drosophila and mouse by in situ hybridisation of complementary RNA
131 Citations1970Kenneth W. Jones, Forbes W. Robertson
It is inferred that both in mouse and Drosophila the centromeric regions of all chromosomes are enriched in highly reiterated sequences, which might play some role in promoting the close physical approximation of homologous and non-homologous chromosomes or chromosome regions to facilitate regulation of function.

The results are consistent with the interpretation that the amount of satellite DNA in each chromosome is proportional to the total DNA of the chromosome and that it is not limited to a fixed amount per chromosome.

One characteristic of DNA, CsCl buoyant density peak values, was determined for DNA samples isolated from 93 species belonging to 11 orders of mammals, and satellite DNAs were found in a number of species.

Human lymphocytes were grown in short-term tissue culture and were arrested in metaphase with Colcemid to induce relaxation of fiber packing and reveal certain underlying fiber arrangements.
