[Analysis of the variability of repeated elements in rodent genomes at the taxonomic level].

"Taxonomic DNA fingerprints" [1] have been received for a number of rodent species of Muridae family. Some differences in DNA repeated sequences patterns at the species and a higher taxonomic levels are shown. Revealed specific species DNA fragments can be used as molecular-genetic markers for identification and differentiation of various rodent groups, as well as for solving of particular systematic problems.
