Nucleotide sequence definition of a major human repeated DNA, the Hind III 1.9 kb family
Abstract:
A human Hind III 1.9 kb repeated DNA fragment was isolated and cloned in pBR322. A cloned member that hybridized predominantly to the 1.9 kb Hind III band in a digest of whole human DNA was chosen for sequencing. It is an 1894 bp fragment that shows no significant internal repeats. Few pCG residues are observed in the sequence and there are numerous stop codons. Detailed sequence comparisons confirm this is a novel class of repeats that is not related to previously characterized human satellite DNAs or Alu sequences. At least a portion of the sequence described is conserved in evolution.

The Replisome
The synthesis of the leading and lagging strands is a highly coordinated process. To explain this, the “Trombone model” was proposed by Bruce Alberts in 1980. The DNA loop formation starts when a primer is synthesized on the parent lagging strand. The loop grows with the...

Gene Duplication and Divergence
The duplicated copies of the gene are called Paralogs. Paralogs with similar sequences and functions form a gene family. Across several species, a large number of gene families are characterized.
