The importance of the various kinds of repetitive nucleotide sequences for the workings of bacterial DNA has been widely recognized. This work is concerned with the distribution of a particular group of repetitive sequences, the short-sequenced interrupted extragenic palindromes, on the genetic maps of Escherichia coli K-12, Haemophilus influenzae Rd and Neisseria meningitidis Z2491 and MC58. A tool has been developed based upon a statistical hypothesis test taking into account the markovian structure of random sequences in order to determine the non-random character of extragenic palindromes.
