Repetitive DNA in gene families
Posted in Genome organization, Repetitive DNA on October 20, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Not all repetitive DNA is noncoding. There are many gene families that consist of genes repeated several times in gene clusters or tandem repeats. Each gene within a cluster is individually regulated. The genes of these multigene families typically code for those proteins that are required in large amounts e.g. seed storage proteins, RuBisCO (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate [...]
