STUDYING THE REPEATED CONSEQUENCES OF THE DNA OF THE VOLES OF KIN MICROTU

The work is aimed at studying the repeated consequences of the genome DNA of the voles, kin Microtus. For the first time isolated and characterized have been LINE 1 elements of the voles M. subarvalis (L1Ms1) and M. kirgisorum (L1Mk1). From the genome DNA of the vole M. subarvalis, the repeated consequence Ms2, having no analogs among the known consequences DNA and containing the B1-similar SINE element, has been isolated and characterized. The unique cluster localization of the repeater Ms2 in the heterochromatine of the sexual chromosomes, and the primary localization of L1Ms1 and L1Mk1-elements on sexual chromosomes of the voles of this kin, has been shown. The results of the investigation shall be used in studying the molecular structures of the heterochromatine and not accidental inactivation of X-chromosomes of the voles, kin MicrotusAvailable from VNTIC / VNTIC - Scientific & Technical Information Centre of RussiaSIGLERURussian Federatio
