The actin gene family of the sea urchin Lytechinus pictus includes a single muscle actin gene, LpM, and four cytoskeletal actin genes: LpC1, LpC2, LpC3, and LpC4. The origin and relationship of these actin genes to members of the actin gene family of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus were

The ribosomal RNA genes from the sea urchin Lytechinus variegatus have been studied with the electron microsocope using the technique of denaturation mapping. A repeating pattern of denatured regions was found with an average repeat length of 3.87 +/- 0.24 mum. This corresponds to a DNA sequence of
## Abstract The location of misalignment and unequal crossover involved in concerted evolution of tandemly repetitive sequences is difficult to document owing to the homogeneity of sequences that are subject to this process. However, the repetitive domain of the SM50 gene in sea urchins contains va
