------------------------------------------- My apologies if this has been posted twice. ------------------------------------------- An interesting family of repetitive sequences was recently discovered in our lab. The units are basicly trinucleotides repeated many times in tandems or scattered over a large DNA region; we have found these repetitive sequences in every eukaryotic genome tested so far. The redundant sequences reside in non-coding regions, but there is an interesting feature that has caught our attention: scattered units are always "in-frame" no matter how distant they are from each other. The distance between the units is variable and apparently does not match helix's turns. Does anybody have seen or read about DNA features like the one described? Any comments regarding why the repetitive units are kept "in-frame"? Thanks for your time and attention J.P. Martinez-Soriano uog10013@uoguelph uog10013@vm.uoguelph.ca
