We report the consensus sequence of members of a new dispersed middle-repetitive DNA family, MT, which is present in mouse and rat genomes. This family is shown to be as abundant as the described rodent B1 and B2 families. Hybridization experiments with radioactive single-stranded cDNAs from different tissues indicate that MT sequences are more abundantly cotranscribed in parts of the brain than other repetitive families.
