We have analyzed more than 500 alphold monomers either sequenced in our laboratory or available in the literature. Most of them belonged to the well studied suprachromosomal families 1,2 and 3 characterized by dlmerlc (1 and 2) and pentamerlc (3) ancestral periodicities. The sequences that did not b...
