title: Evolution of highly repeated DNA within the genusTriturus (Amphibia, Urodela).
abstract: Highly repeated DNA is a main feature of urodele amphibian genomes. InTriturus this class of DNA consists of several sequence families differently arranged at both the molecular and the chromosomal level, showing varying degrees of conservation across species. Present data on highly repeated DNA inTriturus are here summarized and discussed with regard to the evolution and possible functional role of these sequences.
