Résumé

1. 1. The DNA of all six species of Gadidae (cofishes) investigated contained at least one satellite component, revealed by isopycnic centrifugation either in CsCl or in Cs2SO4 solutions containing Ag+ or Hg2+. 2. 2. The unfractionated DNA of three species investigated in this regard contained 30-40 per cent of a rapidly reassociating fraction (C0t less than 0·1 mole.sec per 1.). The DNA of all six species contained a fraction which banded as reassociated DNA after heating and cooling. 3. 3. One of the satellite fractions of Atlantic cod DNA was isolated. Its kinetic complexity suggests a repeating unit of 4400 base pairs, represented 7000 times in the genome.
