It is suggested that chromosomal DNA should contain a class of palindromic reverse repeats, comparable in number to that of genes themselves, which are formed as follows:(1) a transcription-termination signal that follows the gene plus (on the complementary strand and located as near to the "anti-gene" as possible); (2) a second termination signal which actively prevents the accidental transcription of the anti-gene. Thus, the adjacent termination-anti-termination region of one strand would complement the anti-termination-termination region of the other.
有人提出,染色体DNA应包含一类回文反向重复序列,其数量与基因本身的数量相当,形成方式如下:(1)一个位于基因之后的转录终止信号(位于互补链上,且尽可能靠近“反基因”);(2)第二个终止信号,它能有效阻止反基因的意外转录。因此,一条链上相邻的终止-抗终止区域将与另一条链上的抗终止-终止区域互补。
