title: Rearranged sequences of a human Kpn I element.
abstract: The complete nucleotide sequence of a human Kpn I element inserted into alpha-satellite DNA is presented. This sequence reveals several features of interest. First, a large block of DNA normally associated with Kpn I elements has been deleted. Second, the order of the remaining sequences is permuted in a manner that cannot be accounted for by simple inversion. Third, a significant open reading frame of 675 bases is detected.
