[A family of repetitive nucleotide sequences (Sau 3A family) in the genome of 2 forms of the sockeye salmon Oncorhynchus nerka].
A family of DNA sequences (Sau3A repeat sequences) has been revealed in genomes of two forms of O. nerka. A DNA fragment belonging to this "family" has been cloned in bacterial plasmid. Its copy number (in genomes of normal (570 +/- 33) and dwarf (66 +/- 12) forms) has been counted. The structural organization of sequences of Sau3A family in genomes of males and females of normal form is not the same. The organization of Sau3A sequences is the same in genomes of dwarf males and dwarf females of normal form, but the quantity of Sau3A sequences copies is smaller. It is supposed that the DNA sequences of Sau3A family bear the sex determination of dwarf form of O. nerka. The fragment of rRNA gene of nerka has been cloned and the number of rRNA gene copies in genomes of normal (200 +/- 62) and dwarf (1690 +/- 24) forms has been defined.
