Abstract
Interspersed repetitive sequences are represented widely in animal cell nuclear RNAs, in the poly(A) RNA stored in eggs and in some mRNAs. Their expression is developmentally modulated. Although the genomic location of repetitive sequences may change rapidly during evolution, the patterns of their transcription suggest a variety of possible functions.
