Certain regularities in content and organization of pyrimidine oligonucleotide sequences of DNA from 15 insect species belonging to 4 orders were studied. The degree of nucleotide clusterization in insect DNA was found to be species-specific, being the highest in Hymenoptera and lowest in Lepidoptera; the Blattodea and Coleoptera occupy an intermediate position by this index between them. The changes in the DNA cluster structure during the evolution of insect species are not of vector type; the degree of clusterization of DNA nucleotide is either increased (Hymenoptera) or decreased (Lepidoptera as compared with Blattodea). In the DNA oligonucleotide fractions containing both pyrimidine nucleotides the percentage content of thymidyl nucleotides is much higher than that of cytidyl nucleotides, the thymine content being increased with the lengthening of oligopyrimidine clusters. The insect species with a higher degree of clusterization of DNA pyrimidine nucleotides contain more thymidyl nucleotide residues. These results agree well with the hypothesis suggesting that during the evolution of large taxons the accumulation of long pyrimidine sequences in animal DNA is accompanied by an increase of thymidyl nucleotide content in them. This can largely be due to the increase of matrix resistance during the evolution and is biologically significant for animals of any taxons, including insects.
