Stretches of simple sequences poly(dG‐dT) · poly(dC‐dA) · poly(dG‐dA) · poly(dC‐dT) · poly(dG) · poly(dC) and poly(dA) · poly(dT), the occurrence of which is a characteristic feature of eukaryotic genomes, are found in the genomes of archaebacteria Halobacterium halobium and Sulfolobus acidocaldarius . In S. acidocaldarius these sequences constitute a considerable portion of the genome; they belong to a class of repetitive sequences dispersed throughout the genome, being transcribed and found in RNAs of different lengths.
