An Analysis of the Bovine Genome by Density Gradient Centrifugation: Fractionation in Cs2SO4/3,6‐Bis(acetatomercurimethyl)dioxane Density Gradient

Abstract
The fractionation of calf thymus DNA by centrifugation in density gradients of Cs2SO4/BAMD, where BAMD = 3,6‐bis(acetatomercurimethyl)dioxane, is described. A large‐scale separation of (dG + dC)‐rich DNA fractions has been obtained, allowing the relative amounts of minor and satellite components in the bovine genome to be precisely assessed.
