Abstract

Spreading of simple DNA sequences in genomes of different organisms as well as their localization, possible functions, origin and evolution are briefly considered. Those sequences are discussed for the possibility to participate in regulation of gene activity and recombinations. Probable mechanisms of simple sequences formation are shown. A conclusion is made that these sequences are not «selfish DNA» but are active and progressive elements.
