RESUMO
Seven cloned small circular DNA molecules from CHO cells were sequenced and examined for the presence of homologies to each other and to a number of other functional sequences present in transposable elements, retroviruses, mammalian repeat sequences, and introns. The sequences of the CHO cell circular DNA molecules did not reveal common structural features that could explain their presence in the circular DNA population. A gene bank was constructed for CHO chromosomal DNA and sequences homologous to two of the seven small circular DNA molecules were isolated and sequenced. The nucleotide sequences present at the junction of circular and chromosomal DNA suggest that a recombination process involving homologous pairing may have been involved in the generation of one, but not the other, of the two circular DNA molecules.
