## Abstract The DNA base composition was studied in 9 reptilian species (4 chelonians, 3 saurians, and 2 ophidians) by the thermal denaturation method. This preliminary investigation has brought to light differences in GC percentages and in the shape of melting curves between chelonian DNA and that
The evolution of genome size and base composition of DNA from various reptiles has been studied. DNA amount was measured cytophotometrically and GC concentration estimated by thermal denaturation. The Reptilia appear to be a fairly homogeneous group with respect to DNA quantity, although chelonians
