Abstract

The 12.5 kb sequence of DNA containing distal fragment of type I ribosomal repeat insertion and repeating elements of A89 clone from D. melanogaster genomic library has been cloned. It has been shown that fragment of type I insertion in the cloned sequence may be flanked both by the unique nontranscribed sequences and a mobile genetic element.
