Abstract:The inverted repeated sequences of the chromatin-eliminating nematode Ascuris lumbricnides var. suum have been examined by electron microscopy and by hydroxyapatite chromatography, both in the germ-line and in the somatic DNA. 38% of the inverted repeats of the germ-line DNA analysed in the electron microscope have a single-stranded loop, in comparison to about 50% of looped structures in the somatic DNA. The loops are on average 2.3 x lo3 base pairs (bp) long. The rest of the foldback DNA consists of simple h… Show more
