Abstract
Bovine satellite I DNA was shown by its susceptibility to cleavage by restriction endonucleases to consist of direct tandem repeats 1,400 base pairs in length. Renaturation kinetics indicate that this repeat is itself internally repetitious. These data argue in favour of a DNA replication mechanism for the evolution of this satellite.
