The genome composition and DNA base sequence homologies
of several diverse species of fish were examined. The fishes were
characterized from spectrophotometric studies of reassociation and
hybridization of their DNAs and from the thermal stabilities of hybrid
duplexes.
Spectrophotometric studies indicated that repeated sequences
comprise 35-40% of the genomes of...
An attempt was made to differentiate between runs of steelhead by comparing the reassociations of their DNA. Conditions for the reassociation were studied using E. coli DNA, and observations
were made spectrophotometrically. Of the five buffers examined, 1.0 molar sodium perchlorate plus one-hundredth molar tris-HCl, pH 7.1, at 60° or...
