Abstract
The previously cloned Drosophila genome fragment Dm665 (2.4 kb) hybridizing with telomers on polytene chromosomes is a representative of the family of repeats, a part of which being organized in tandem clusters. The repeats are not transcribed in cell culture, are species-specific and represented in 200-250 copies per haploid genome. In natural and laboratory Drosophila lines polymorphism has been revealed with regard to homology with Dm665 in the telomeres.
