✦ Synopsis

The presence of a CA repeat within the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of the dystrophin gene has been reported previously in several species. Because microsatellites showing high cross-species homology can be conveniently used as markers in those species for which detailed linkage maps have not yet been developed, we evaluated whether the CA repeat could be amplified from a wide variety of mammalian species. Using a single pair of canine-specific oligonucleotide primers, we successfully amplified the 3'-UTR from 18 different carnivore and six additional species (human, chimpanzee, goat, cow, rabbit and mouse) and show conservation of the CA repeat in the dystrophin gene from a wide range of evolutionarily diverse mammalian species.

## Abstract A highly repeated interspersed sequence (OLR1) was isolated from a genomic DNA library of the Medaka, __Oryzias latipes.__ The OLR1 was about 160 base pairs (bp) in length. As judged from the results of colony hybridization experiments, OLR1 is one of the major repeated DNA sequences in
