Low repetitive sequences

From WikiLectures

  • classic genes
  • some occur in a single specimen in genome
  • a unique and irreplaceable sequence with very specific and unmistakable information content
  • others occur in a larger copy number (tandem rows, e.g. genes for rRNA = rDNA (400 per genome))
  • similar, but non-identical genes form a gene family, they usually have a common origin + occurrence in groups
  • orphon – a member of the genetic family located separately
