We have investigated the evolution of a 190 base pair tandemly repeated DNA sequence (RBMII) in 27 different species of waterfowl. In this paper we show that the RBMII sequence is present in many species belonging to 7 of the 11 Anatid tribes. Inter- and intra-tribal differences in repeat presence indicate that, although the RBMII sequence has been maintained among widely divergent species, it is rapidly evolving. Restriction enzyme analyses suggest very different hierarchical repeat organizations among different species. DNA sequence comparisons of 32 cloned monomer units from five different species revealed what appears to be a nonrandom distribution of sequence divergence, as well as large differences (up to 25-fold) in intraspecific sequence variation between relatively closely related species.Key words: repeated DNA, Anatidae, sequence variation.

A highly repeated DNA sequence with a repeat unit of ca. 180 bp was found in genomic DNA HindIII-digests of Raphanus sativus. The repeating units of six isolated, independent clones were sequenced. These units have 177 or 178 bp, are 36% G+C in their DNA base composition, and show 90% sequence homology. The copy number of this 180-bp repeat unit is about 0.5 × 106 per diploid genome. In situ hybridization analysis with the repeating unit as the probe and C-banding analysis indicated that the repeated DNA sequence of R. sativus is closely associated with the major C-heterochromatins in the proximal regions of all 18 chromosomes at mitotic metaphase.Key words: Raphanus sativus, repeated DNA sequence, nucleotide sequence, in situ hybridization, C-banding.
