Four single dispersed copies of the SAT5 repeat are detected in a BLAST search using the 2196 bp SAT5 consensus sequence [25] as a query sequence. One nearly full-length copy is in a transposon-rich region close to the centromere of chromosome 3. Two truncated copies, which correspond to those detected in the MSAP analysis, are present in relatively gene-rich regions on chromosomes 2 and 5, respectively. A third truncated copy is present in a region containing both genes and transposons on chromosome 4. The AGI numbers of the embedded CRP genes or pseudogenes are shown.
