A new middle repetitive sequence is described in the mouse genome. It has been revealed with a recombinant clone isolated from a Mus musculus BamHI gene library constructed in pBR322 and containing an insertion of 1.73 kb. When digests of genomic DNA were subjected to Southern blot hybridization, using the 1.73-kb insert as probe, we obtained a light smear and discrete bands, indicating a dispersion in the mouse genome of this sequence. This 1.73-kb sequence seems to be a part of a greater repetitive sequence at least 6 kb in length. The sizes of the bands hybridizing with the 1.73-kb insert are similar when compared between different laboratory strains but differ remarkably between the two species M. musculus and Mus caroli. We have shown also a great variation in the copy number of the sequence studied between these two species. When rat DNA is probed with the 1.73-kb insert, no hybridization is observed. Subcloning of the 1.73-kb sequence in three fragments has pointed out that the reiteration was not homogeneous along the 1.73-kb sequence. The 1.73-kb clone was sequenced and compared with other interspersed repetitive sequences, previously described in the rodent genome, and no homology was found.
