Centromere protein A (CENP-A) is a histone H3 homolog that is concentrated in the chromatin of the inner kinetochore plate of human chromosomes.
A novel centromeric satellite DNA sequence was identified and shown by fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis to be present at all centromeres of the Indian muntjac.
Southern blot analysis of muntjac genomic DNA suggests that this satellite DNA is present in repetitive tandem arrays and contains complex internal arrangements.

To characterize the satellite DNA in the genome of a native muntjac species of Taiwan, the Formosan muntjac, satellite DNA clones representing three different cervid satellite DNA families from this species were isolated and analyzed.
Three Formosan muntjac satellite DNA clones were obtained and designated as FM-satI (1,391 bp), FM-satII (1,143 bp) and FM-satIV (1,103 bp), and found to share approximately 82, 81 and 98% sequence homology with the Chinese muntjac satellite I clone (C5), Indian muntjac satellite II clone (Mmv-0.7) and Chinese muntjac satellite IV clone (MR-1.0), respectively.
Satellite DNA sequence comparison, in combination with chromosome data concludes that the Formosan muntjac is likely a subspecies of M. reevesi, closely related to the Chinese muntjac.
