Abstract
The ribosomal RNA genes from the sea urchin Lytechinus variegatus have been studied with the electron microscope using the technique of denaturation mapping. A repeating pattern of denatured regions was found with an average repeat length of 3.87±0.24μm. This corresponds to a DNA sequence of approximately 12,000 base pairs with a molecular weight of 8×106 daltons.This publication has 30 references indexed in Scilit:
