Popis: The isolation and localization of a chromosome 12-specific α satellite DNA sequence, pα12H8, is described. This clone contains a complete copy of the 1.4-kb Hindlll higher-order repeat present within the α satellite array on chromosome 12. The specificity of pα12H8 was demonstrated by in situ hybridization and Southern blot analysis of a somatic cell hybrid mapping panel, both performed under high-stringency conditions. Polymorphic restriction patterns within the α satellite array, revealed by the use of the restriction enzymes Bglll and EcoRV, were demonstrated to display Mendelian inheritance. These properties make pα12H8 a valuable genetic marker for the centromeric region of chromosome 12.
