Avian species-specific tandem repeats contain nuclear protein binding sites

Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 1992 Jan 31;182(2):447-51. doi: 10.1016/0006-291x(92)91752-c.

Abstract

Three avian highly repetitive tandem repeats were identified and examined. These repeats had similar unit lengths (about 42 bp long) but completely different sequences each containing particular protein binding sites. Each of these repeats was found within only one of the five closely related genera studied.
