Abstract
In situ hybridisation of radioactive complementary RNA has been used to localise the chromosomal distribution of human satellite DNA III. This DNA is found to be concentrated in paracentromeric heterochromatin mainly on chromosome 9 and in minor concentrations on chromosomes chiefly of the D and G groups.
