Mouse DNA contains two equally abundant, homologous subfamilies of MspI 3.6 and 5 kb repeated fragments. The first subfamily corresponds to the previously described (1) Bam 4 kb repeats, the second one to Bam repeated fragments of higher molecular weight. These subfamilies account for the vast majority of long Bam repeats and are linked with contiguous short Bam 0.5 kb repeats. A minority of these composite Bam repeats extend, on the 0.5 kb side, into R repeats. In turn, a fraction of the composite Bam/R repeats extend further, for at least 3 kb, into other repeated sequences contiguous to the R repeats. The long Bam repeats belong, therefore, in at least three superfamilies of repeats, the longest one being over 9 kb in size. Some general properties of these superfamilies are discussed.
小鼠DNA包含两个数量相等、同源的MspI 3.6 kb和5 kb重复片段亚家族。第一个亚家族对应于先前描述的（1）Bam 4 kb重复序列，第二个亚家族对应于分子量更高的Bam重复片段。这些亚家族占绝大多数长Bam重复序列，并与相邻的短Bam 0.5 kb重复序列相连。这些复合Bam重复序列中的少数在0.5 kb一侧延伸到R重复序列中。反过来，一部分复合Bam/R重复序列进一步延伸至少3 kb，进入与R重复序列相邻的其他重复序列。因此，长Bam重复序列至少属于三个重复序列超家族，其中最长的一个大小超过9 kb。讨论了这些超家族的一些一般特性。
