title: The genome of Calliphora. Analysis by DNA reassociation kinetics.
abstract: The size and nucleotide sequence complexity of the Calliphora vicina genome has been determined from the kinetics of reassociation of its DNA. Unique sequence DNA comprises 80% of the genome and the remainder is divided into medium (14%) and highly repetitive sequences (6%), which are repeated roughly 150 times and more. The size of the Calliphora genome was calculated relative to the DNA from T4-phage to be 1.5--1.9 X 10(11) daltons.
