TL;DR: Three copies of a highly repetitive DNA sequence B1 which is complementary to the most abundant class of mouse fold-back RNA have been cloned in pBR322 plasmid and sequenced by the method of Maxam and Gilbert and two regions within the B1 sequence which are homologous to the intron-exon junctions are found.

TL;DR: The properties of B1 and B2 repeats suggest that they may represent a novel class of transposon-like elements in eukaryotic genome, and a possible role of B-type repeats in genome reorganization, DNA replication and pre-mRNA processing is discussed.

TL;DR: Individual‐specific restriction pattern analysis with M13 phage DNA proved to be useful for individual identification, analysis of somatic stability and paternity testing in man, and demonstrates a potential range of M13 DNA applications as a probe for DNA fingerprinting of animals, plants and microorganisms.

TL;DR: According to their chromatographic behavior on hydroxyapatite columns, symmetry in base composition and melting properties, these ribonuclease-stable sequences represent double-helical regions in nuclear pre-mRNA which probably have hair-pin-like structure.

TL;DR: Melting experiments with hybrids show that the members of B1 family are very similar if not identical, while the divergence among B2 sequences is higher, but still the number of substitutions does not exceed 9% of bases.
