description The organization of the repeat unit of the ribosomal genes has been determined in 15 different species of vertebrates. The EcoRI and BamHI restriction maps of the rDNA from single individuals of different species of fishes, amphibians, and reptiles have been analysed. Two rDNA clones from Xenopus laevis (representing one complete repeat unit) were used as probes in Southern blots to detect restriction fragments containing ribosomal genes. The results obtained indicate that the transcribed regions are highly conserved in length and sequence inside the same zoological class. These regions are less conserved when species from different classes are compared but a general trend has been observed. In contrast, the length and sequence of the spacer regions are very variable, even within the same zoological class. Different types of heterogeneity have been observed; examples range from a single type of ribosomal repeat unit within a species to the absence of any detectable regular tandem array of units.
