Abstract

The reassociation kinetics of the DNA of Ilyanassa obsoleta have been studied in order to obtain a repetition frequency profile for the genome of this organism, a well known subject of embryological interest. At a criterion set about 25°C below the T_m, Ilyanassa DNA consists of about 38% nonrepetitive sequences; at least 12% of a repetitive sequence component averaging about 20 relatives per sequence; at least 15% of a repetitive sequence component averaging about 1000 relatives per sequence; and 18% of a component which reassociates extremely rapidly and either contains regions of internal homology or consists of a small number of extremely frequent sequences, or both.
