Stability of tandem repeats in the Drosophila melanogaster Hsr-omega nuclear RNA.

Genetics - 1 Apr 1995

Hogan N C, Slot F, Traverse K L, Garbe J C, Bendena W G, Pardue M L

Abstract excerpt

The Drosophila melanogaster Hsr-omega locus produces a nuclear RNA containing > 5 kb of tandem repeat sequences. These repeats are unique to Hsr-omega and show concerted evolution similar to that seen with classical satellite DNAs. In D. melanogaster the monomer is approximately 280 bp. Sequences of 19 1/2 monomers differ by 8 +/- 5% (mean +/- SD), when all pairwise comparisons are considered. Differences are...
