A large fraction of the genome of the lepidopteran Antheraea pernyi consists of interspersed single-copy sequences and repetitive DNA sequences of 300 nucleotide average length. Most of the single-copy sequences are about 800 nucleotides long and a minority are considerably longer. Thus, the organization of the DNA sequences of this insect is similar to that of most higher organisms and different from that of Drosophila.
大蚕蛾的基因组中很大一部分由散布的单拷贝序列和平均长度为300个核苷酸的重复DNA序列组成。大多数单拷贝序列约800个核苷酸长,少数则长得多。因此,这种昆虫的DNA序列组织与大多数高等生物相似,而与果蝇不同。
