Base composition of DNA from some reptiles.
The DNA base composition was studied in 9 reptilian species (4 chelonians, 3 saurians, and 2 ophidians) by the thermal denaturation method. This preliminary investigation has brought to light differences in GC percentages and in the shape of melting curves between chelonian DNA and that from saurians and ophidians.
