RESUMO

DNA preparations from about hundred randomly selected clones containing mouse DNA fragments were screened for the existence of sequences complementary to long double-stranded regions of pre-mRNA able to snap back after melting (dsRNA-B). Many clones containing such sequences were found. The cloned sequences can be subdivided into three groups: (1) those complementary to about a half (at least to 30-40%) of the total dsRNA, designated as sequences B1; (2) those complementary to a part of sequence B1; and (3) sequences complementary to about a quarter (at least to 15%) of the total dsRNA referred to as sequence B2. The size of DNA sequence complementary to dsRNA is about 400 base pairs.
