Association of Chromosomal RNA with Repetitive DNA

Yuriy M Sivolap 1,*, James Bonner 1
PMCID: PMC388944  PMID: 5277090

Abstract

Chromosomal RNA, which is a component of the chromosomes of higher organisms, and whose participation is required for sequence-specific interaction of chromosomal proteins with chromosomal DNA, occurs in chromosomes bound to DNA. We have found that the DNA sequences to which chromosomal RNA binds are repetitive ones.
