Abstract
Repeated nucleotide sequences fitting the motif TGTT(A)(G)AAAACTGA hav e been found in the Mycoplasma bovis genome. The tetradecamer sequence s are also in spacer regions of rRNA operons of some species of Mollic utes. The sequences look like the DNA sites recognized by topoisomeras e I from Tetrahymena pyriformis. Imperfect copies of the sequences are known to be in genomes of viruses, lower and higher eukaryotes.
