Abstract

Several (but not all) Plasmodium berghei chromosomes bear in the subtelomeric position a cluster of 2.3-kilobase (kb) tandem repeats. The 2.3-kb unit contains 160 base pairs of telomeric sequence. The resulting subtelomeric structure is one in which stretches of telomeric sequences are periodically spaced by a 2.1-kb reiterated sequence. This periodic organization of internal telomeric sequences might be related to chromosome-size polymorphisms involving the loss or addition of subtelomeric 2.3-kb units.
