RESUMO

The genome of Epstein-Barr virus is composed of unique DNA interspersed with repetitive sequences. This organization suggests that Epstein-Barr virus provides a useful model for studying the function(s) of repetitive sequences in eukaryotic chromosomes. The primary structure of two of the repeat sequences, the 3072 bp large internal repeat, or BamHI-W repeat, and a smaller 125 bp, G, C-rich NotI repeat, are presented here. Their structures and possible functions are discussed.
