The structure of macronuclear DNA of a hypotrichous ciliate, Stylonychia pustulata, was examined by both electron microscopy and nucleotide sequence analysis. The DNA in the macronucleus consists of small linear molecules with average length of about 3400 base pairs (bp). Most, if not all, of these DNA molecules have identical inverted terminal repeat sequence of 20 nucleotide residues. This sequence is 5'-CCCCAAAACCCC-AAAACCCC.
利用电子显微镜和核苷酸序列分析技术,对一种腹毛目纤毛虫——脓疱柱毛虫大核DNA的结构进行了研究。大核中的DNA由平均长度约为3400个碱基对(bp)的小线性分子组成。这些DNA分子中的大多数(即便不是全部)都具有相同的由20个核苷酸残基组成的反向末端重复序列。该序列为5'-CCCCAAAACCCC-AAAACCCC。
