Abstract
THE correlation between kinetic complexity and analytical complexity (genome size) established for the nucleic acids of viruses and bacteria and for the “single copy” DNA of a few higher organisms1, 2 has been widely assumed to hold also for the families of repeated sequences found in eukaryotic chromosomal DNA1, 3, 4. This assumption leads to some surprising conclusions: quite closely related species seem to differ greatly both in the proportion of the genome made up of repeated sequences and in the apparent complexity of these sequences1, 4, 5.
