Extremely long PCR fragments were generated by PCR amplification of ITS and 5.8S rDNA from Cochlodinium polykrikoides against other dinoflagellates. These patterns were consistent among geographically different isolates of C. polykrikoies. DNA sequencing reactions revealed that the PCR products were 1,166 bp in length and consisted of 813 bp of ITS1, 160 bp of 5.8S rDNA and 193 bp of ITS2. Thus, the long length was caused mainly by the long ITS1 sequence. Cryptically, the ITS1 contained a tract of 101 bp that occurs six times in tandem. The six repeated elements had identical nucleotide sequences. ITS1, therefore, separated three distinct regions: the 5' end (122 bp), the six parallel repeats (606 bp), and the 3' region (85 bp). Interestingly, both the single and six-repeat sequences should be palindrome-like sequences. In inferred secondary structures, both repeat sequences formed a long helical structure. This is the first reported discovery of comparatively long internal repeats in the ITS1 of dinoflagellates.
