Comparative aspects of DNA organization in Metazoa
Abstract
Data on sequence organization in metazoa are reviewed and tabulated. It is shown that the features of sequence organization previously observed in Xenopus DNA are extremely widespread. At least 70% of DNA fragments 2,000-3,000 nucleotides long contain both single copy and repetitive sequence in all the organisms examined except Drosophila.
