Repetitive-DNA elements are similarly distributed on Caenorhabditis elegans autosomes.
The positions of approximately 4,800 individual miniature inverted-repeat transposable element (MITE)-like repeats from four families were mapped on the Caenorhabditis elegans chromosomes. These families represent 1-2% of the total sequence of the organism. The four MITE families (Cele1, Cele2, Cele14, and Cele42) displayed distinct chromosomal distribution profiles. For example, the Cele14 MIT...
متن کاملThe DNA of Caenorhabditis elegans.
Chemical analysis and a study of renaturation kinetics show that the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, has a haploid DNA content of 8 x 10(7) base pairs (20 times the genome of E. coli). Eighty-three percent of the DNA sequences are unique. The mean base composition is 36% GC; a small component, containing the rRNA cistrons, has a base composition of 51% GC. The haploid genome contains about 30...
متن کاملRepetitive DNA sequences located in the terminal portion of the Caenorhabditis elegans chromosomes.
We describe the distribution along the chromosomes of Caenorhabditis elegans of two repetitive DNA families, RcS5 and Cerep3 and interstitial telomeric sequences. Both families show, among other interesting features, a preferential location in the terminal 30% of the chromosomes. It is known that in these regions of the genome the frequency of recombination is much higher than in the central po...
متن کاملStructure, evolution and properties of a novel repetitive DNA family in Caenorhabditis elegans.
We have identified a moderately repeated DNA sequence in Caenorhabditis elegans present at least at twenty different locations in the genome. Elements of this intermingled repetitive DNA family are made up of tandem subreapeats whose smaller unit is ten base pairs long. The occurrence of single base changes between units is reminiscent of mammalian satellite DNA. Sequence analysis has shown tha...
متن کاملUse of repetitive DNA probes as physical mapping strategy in Caenorhabditis elegans.
A method for linking genomic sequences cloned in yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) has been tested using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system. Yeast clones carrying YACs with repeated sequences were selected from a C. elegans genomic library, total DNA was digested with restriction enzymes, transferred to nylon membranes and probed with a variety of repetitive DNA probes. YAC clones that ...
