摘要: We used DNA reassociation kinetics to determine genome size and organization in the ixodid tick Amblyomma americanum. calculated of A. americanum be approximately 1.08 pg or 1.04 x 10(9) base pairs consist 35.8% unique DNA, 4.2% foldback sequences, 17.9% highly repetitive 42.1% moderately sequences. Comparison long short fragments revealed sequences distributed a pattern period interspersion, feature that, date, has been associated with arthropod genomes that lack high percentage DNA.
