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

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.
Episomes carrying limited regions of the chromosome where 5S RNA genes have previously been located are described. The DNA purified from each of these episomes contains one gene per molecule for each of the three ribosomal RNA species as shown by hybridization experiments.
## The majority of human, animal andplant viral pathogens possess genomes composed of RNA. The strategies evolved for expression and replication of viral RNA genomes can differ signijicantly from those utilized for expression and replication of host-cell genetic material. Consequently, knowledge of
