Low repetitive sequences
From WikiLectures
- classic genes
- some occur in a single specimen in genome
- a unique and irreplaceable sequence with very specific and unmistakable information content
- others occur in a larger copy number (tandem rows, e.g. genes for rRNA = rDNA (400 per genome))
- similar, but non-identical genes form a gene family, they usually have a common origin + occurrence in groups
- orphon – a member of the genetic family located separately
