A major site of genes for 5S RNA has been localized in representative members of the family Pongidae by means of hybridization in situ. These genes are shown to be concentrated in the most distal bands of the primate chromosome arm homologous to human chromosome 1q.

Based on the comparative analyses of the primary structure of 5S RNAs from 19 organisms, a secondary structure model of 5S RNA is proposed. 5S RNA has essentially the same structure among all prokaryotic species. The same is true for eukaryotic 5S RNAs. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic 5S RNAs are also qu
One of the most remarkable recent findings in developmental biology has been the colinear and homologous relationships shared between the Drusuphila HOM-C and vertebrate Hox homeobox gene complexes. These relationships pose the question of the functional significance of colincarity and its molecular
The 5S RNA gene content of polyploid cells of the ovary of Drosophila melanogaster has been compared in animals with two or three gene clusters. The amount of 5S RNA genes is exactly proportional to the number of gene clusters as determined by DNA-RNA filter hybridization. In contrast, the number of
