<molecular biology> Nucleotide sequences in DNA that are present in the genome as numerous copies. Originally identified by the C0t_ value derived from kinetic studies of DNA renaturation. These sequences are not thought to code for polypeptides. One class of repetitive DNA, termed highly repetitive DNA, is found as short sequences, 5-100 nuc...

nucleotide sequences occurring multiply within a genome; they are characteristic of eukaryotes and generally do not encode polypeptides. Sequences may be clustered or dispersed, and repeated moderately (10 to 104 copies per genome) to highly (≥106 copies per genome). Moderately repetitive DNA sequences encode some structu...

Nucleotide sequences in DNA that are present in the genome as numerous copies. Originally identified by the value on the Cot curve derived from kinetic studies of DNA renaturation. These sequences are not thought to code for polypeptides. One class of repetitive DNA, termed highly repetitive DNA, is found as short sequences, 5-100 nucleotides, repeated thousands of times in a single long stretch. It typically comprises 3-10% of the genomic DNA and is predominantly satellite DNA. Another class, which comprises 25-40% of the DNA and termed moderately repetitive DNA, usually consists of sequences about 150-300 nucleotides in length dispersed evenly throughout the genome, and includes Alu > Alu sequences and transposons.

Repetitive DNA: DNA sequences that are repeated in the genome. These sequences do not code for protein. One class termed highly repetitive DNA consists of short sequences, 5-100 nucleotides, repeated thousands of times in a single stretch and includes satellite DNA. Another class termed moderately repetitive DNA consists of longer sequences, about ...
