Abstract excerpt

Repetitive d(CT.GA)n sequences are commonly found in eukaryotic genomic DNA. They are frequently located in sites involved in genetic recombination or in promoter regions. To test for their possible biological function, a d(CT.GA)22 synthetic sequence was introduced into the genome of SV40, since...
