Variants And Polymorphisms Of Three Repetitive Dna Families In The Human Genome, Robert M. Roudabush May 1989

Variants And Polymorphisms Of Three Repetitive Dna Families In The Human Genome, Robert M. Roudabush

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A novel 0.6 kb LINE family in human DNA, designated L2Hs, has been described (Musich and Dykes 1986). Studies employing clone N6.4, containing three 0.6 kb segments of this family, indicate that these sequences are interspersed and moderately repetitive. Two additional variant sequences of the L2Hs family, N6.1 and N6.3, have been identified. Restriction mapping of each cloned segment indicates similarities among N6.4, N6.3 and N6.1. When the cloned DNAs were cleaved with restriction enzymes and subjected to cross-hybridization, each cloned insert produced a pattern indicating that the sequences contained in N6.1 and N6.3 are represented in at least one …
