Figure 2

Southern blot hybridisation analysis of rDNA arrangements. The genomic DNAs representative species from each Group (I-IV) were digested with BamHI and hybridised on blots with the respective DNA probes. The images were cut and arranged into panels, each representing individual species hybridised with the 5S and 26S probes. The sizes of monomeric units of tandemly arranged 5S repeats (Groups I, III and IV) were ~0.5 kb; the size of a major 26S-5S band in Group II species was 2-3 kb.
