  1. *Levels of repeat sequence RNA were normalized to a house keeping gene (Ube) and expressed as a percentage of the levels detected in differentiated mouse myocytes derived from C2C12 (C2C12 dif), samples in which high levels of major and minor satellite transcripts have previously been detected [56]. Controls without reverse transcriptase were analyzed in parallel to dismiss contamination with genomic DNA.
  2. Four independent samples showed variable but increased transcript levels: major satellite, 8.2%, 8.7%, 13.4%, and 43.8% of C2C12; minor satellite, 2.6%, 7.1%, 11.8%, and 13.8% of C2C12. ND, none detected.
