title: Repetitive sequences in the rat genome that have cleavage sites for the restriction endonuclease Taq I.
abstract: A cleavage of rat DNA with restriction endonuclease Taq I produced at least 8 discrete bands. One of the bands, 0.29 kilobase pairs (kb) long, was isolated and cloned in plasmid. The hybridization of this fragment to genomic DNA digested with Taq I showed 1.6 kb, 1.2 kb and 0.29 kb band in a smear hybridization signal. A repetition of the DNA sequence of this fragment was about 12,500 copies/haploid genome of both Buffalo and Sprague-Dawley rats by the Cot-hybridization analysis. Four independent clones of 0.29 kb Taq I fragment share high homology (97%).
