| Abstract: | Summary DNA sequence interspersion was investigated in pheasant and pelican nuclear DNA. As is typical for birds, these genomes are organized in a long period pattern. Altogether, 5 bird species with genome sizes between 1.6 and 1.9 pg DNA are compared with regard to the extent of repetitive and single copy sequence interspersion. The result indicates that the average length of interspersed repetitive sequences increases with genome size.Acknowledgment. This work was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. Mrs H.
