Abstract
Clones containing highly reiterated DNA sequences were isolated from a Plasmodium falciparum genomic library. One clone, Rep2, was selected for further characterization by nucleotide sequence analysis. The results revealed that the insert of this clone is composed of tandemly arranged 21 base-pair imperfect repeats. These repeats are estimated to comprise approximately 1% of the P. falciparum genome and there are 10(4) to 2 X 10(5) copies, depending on the genome size estimate used for calculation. Moreover, the repeats are organized in clusters and do not appear to be transcribed in non-synchronized P. falciparum cultures.Entities:
