abstract：:Macronuclear DNA was isolated from Paramecium primaurelia, stock 168. Although the macronucleus is polyploid to the extent of 840C, in other respect the DNA appears to be simply organized, having neither satellite sequences nor substantial amounts of intermediately repetitive sequence. The sequence complexity of macro...
