NON-CODING REPETITIVE DNA SEQUENCES. “While bacterial genomes almost lack such repetitive elements, there is a ten-fold increase of such segments in the genome of the eukaryotic yeast cells; in the case of the fruit fly Drosophila, the repetitive elements already amount to 10%, while in humans they reach 97%. These formatting, repetitive elements are a prerequisite for the decisive DNA-editing processes such as expression, replication, repair and recombination.”
