Abstract excerpt
We investigated the overall variability of the S1a satellite DNA repeats in ten European populations of Rana temporaria by a new procedure that determines the average sequence of the repeats in a genome. The average genomic sequences show that only 17% of the S1a repeat sequence (494 bp) is variable. The variable positions contain the same major and minor bases in all or many of the population samples tested, but...
