Abstract
Small polydisperse circular (spc) DNA was isolated from mouse thymocytes and cloned into the HindIII site of lambda vector Charon 7. Fifty-six recombinants from this spc DNA library were analyzed. R repeats, which were originally found near immunoglobulin genes, were enriched in spc DNA clones relative to their representation in the chromosome. In one clone, the R sequence was linked to Bam and MIF sequences and the contiguous arrangement was truncated from both ends. In another clone, composite Bam/R and R repeats existed as a pair in inverted repeat orientation. Truncation occurred from the 5' side without affecting the 3' ends. In both clones, short direct repeats flanked the repeated sequences. The possible role of R sequences in transposition and circular formation is discussed.Entities:
